1825. Jany. Oct. 28
Constitutional Code. Ch. 1. Territory, Name &c
§. 1
Instructions

By this In this scheme is may be seen exhibited in a portion of universal
language applicable to the subject with equal advantage
and facility to the several different languages of all civilized nations: the
language of the numeration table being alike needed by
all, and accordingly alike employed by all: and thus for
the language of each may be understood by the natives of
every other to incomparably greater perfection than at
present the language of any one is understood by the natives
of that one.

To form To the forming of an adequate idea of the disadvantage attendant
on the existing system of denomination for this class of objects, and
thence of the advantage that would producible by the adoption
of the here proposed one, it would be necessary to look over the list
of them as they stand exemplified in some one or more
political states: and that of the British dominions comprized
with the addition of that and with those of France will be perhaps be deemed sufficient.
In the case of France, as regenerated by the Revolution simplicity and uniformity will
be found observable, but natural expressiveness, not: in the case of
England, Scotland and Ireland natural expressiveness equally wanting, and wished
of simplicity and uniformity a chaos.(a) (b)

(a) ☞ Here give the list

Note (a)
(b) If in the present instance – if in the present instance of division, or other division of which a the natural aggregate subjects this same principle of divisional denomination will
be found as the it will t is in its nature, applicable with more or less advantage it will it is believed be found it be so in a great
variety of other instances: if to a any natural and material whole, so to any ideal or other factitious aggregate: Say for example to any of those aggregates which from the subject matter of Say for example to any of the objects necessary the of
Natural History: and, in particular, if classed by divisional operations
performed in the dichotomous mode, as exemplified in Dr
Dumont's work, on, : But, ere long, and at any rate supposing the list
of denominations derived from exhausted, the mode of designation would
probably be found too unwieldy for use, except in so far as figures
would be substituted for words.
