CLASSIFICATION.

In natural corporeal sensible objects, the union of all the
several different qualities requisite to a perfect classification

it depends not upon the workman philosopher <add>operator alone to
form a perfect system classification: it is upon in the union assemblage
of the greatest number of such qualities as we
have enumerated that that perfection consists: but
these qualities must be assembled in nature for their
assemblage to be taken notice of: now all of
these qualities do not exist in assemblage in the
objects of any division of natural things: & hence
it is that that system of classification which shall come nearest
to perfection must ever come short of that degree
of it which we can from concern in imagination: because in by
imagination we can conceive the whole number of
supposing of those qualities to lay accumulated assembled in themselves
in any object, in which a few of them only are assembled
number which in reality are assembled between two
