progression
stage in of the ascent from the more particular
to the more general term of
designation, a new ...... groupe term of circumstances
features of resemblances being dropped,
till at last the only circumstance of agreement
that remained was their belonging
to the same Kingdom
Henceforward
by virtue of their
contrivance
By this artifice, to know one plant,
was to a certain degree in certain respects to know certain
others, to a less degree in certain fewer other respects, in certain fewer others yet more, to a
again less degree more still
This served 1st to find
the place of any one
by inspection of it's
characters, 1st in the
class next in the order
after that in the
genus
It gave occasion to
the in names by cutting out
from any one by running
rambling over making the g

made by them in the summary
One may add [to these causes] that in the one
the particular end of the Professor is forwarded
in exact proportion by the same means by which the end of the
Science is attained — In the other it is
not so — With the end of the Science the Professor
has nothing to do
the end of the Science
is bound fast to
the particular
end of the Professor
His end is not that Justice may be done,
but that be [the] Justice [of the case as it may] on one
side or the other, the side which he prevails espouses
may prevail — The study & operation he
engages in, the point of view in which he contemplates
his object, the combinations he makes
of the several parts of it, are all of course determined
by this his end: that is by an end which requires
them to be different from such as would be
calculated for the promotion of the other
NOTE
It may be observed in
opposition to this, that
it is no more the interest
of the Physicians
that all men be in good
health, than of the Lawyer
that all be honest
It is enough however the interest
of the Physician
that all be cured.
I mention this, not
as matter of reproach
but as plain matter
of fact, arising resulting from
the nature of things.
One great advantage granted is, that with respect
to any Article, by referring it to its place in
the System, you get an instantaneous view
of its resemblances to & differences from
other Articles of the same System, with which
there may be occasion to compare it. This
a grain of knowledge — Another great advantage
as often as is with respect to that particular Article standing by
itself you have occasion to see what is said concerning
it, in my work
which follows the System
in question by this means
instead of turning over article
after article till you
meet with that you
want, you turn to it
at once — And this is
a grain of Sense.
