Be the old terms ever so inapposite,
be the new terms ever so
apposite, no such thought must
be entertained as that of discarding
the old and substituting the
new. The old are the terms employed
in all the existing books: the terms
in and by which all the great
discoveries that have been made are
expressed: discoveries in consequence comparison
of with which all ulterior ones that the
nature of things admits of will
probably be found inconsiderable.
Smoothing the path, that
which
in every direction lead
through this department compartment
in the fieldS of art
and science – smoothing the
path, and thence encreasing
the number of the travellers
that enter upon this field, and
at the same time the progress
made by each, this is the
species of service to the rendering
of which the work in
question must confine itself;
nor will it be by any means be
a slight one.
Everywhere, therefore, instead
of being attempted to be
substituted, the new word, or
phrase, or any larger portion
of the matter of discourse, must
be subjoined to the old, and
will have the effect of synonym
to. or an explanation of it.
