§. 2. Means

21
Means. 1 Operations
2 Operators

Art. 1. On this occasion as on every other, means

Art. 1. Operators and Operations — On this
occasion as on every other, be this end what it may, to one
or other of these two heads will be found reducible, whatsoever
in the relation and character of a means is contributing came/will be contribution
to the compassing, or any accomplishing or fulfilling of it
Operator, the real entity correspondent operation the fictitious emanating
as it were from the real entity.

If The idea attached to the word operation is a modification
of the idea attached designated by the word action: in that is of the idea attached to the word motion

22
Instead of operators,
say instruments

Art. 2. Instead of the word operators a convenience
it will be seen [see §§. 4] will be found in the use made making use of the
word instruments. And though the real existence of the entity an operator
is precedent where it is not concomitant to the quasi-existence of
the fictitious entity an designated by the word operation yet for developing the idea
designated on this occasion by the word operation, and bringing
to view the several sorts of actions, the word thing designated by the word operation claimed
as fair to claim by an indispensable title the precedence

23
Inconvenience from
imperfection of
language

Note on this first occasion In the instrument called
language or say discourse at any rate in all the generally known modifications of it note on this occasion an imperfection
the inconvenient effects of which will be continually taking exemplifying themselves
place: the of two words different appellations for the
designation the use of the act or say the operation, the other
of the result whatever it be of that same act as operator.

The consequence is — the necessity of employing for the designation
of two ideas so widely entirely different, one and the same word. Thus
Unhappy indeed is Unfortunately indeed is the existence of this imperfection unfortunate is the existence.
It pervades and fills with perplexity the whole texture of the language
Every word that terminates eith in -tion and many of them that terminate in -ment or in ment — both
derived from the Latin and common to the Italian French, Spanish
and Portuguese as with us the English — is infected with it.
If the act is a fictitious entity the result is in a manner still more so: it the idea of it is one
remove further from the sort that of — a source of all fictitious entities — the real entity.
