more instructive.

I come now to the business of Classifications
A more perplexing one cannot be imagined
Obstacles almost insurmountable present
themselves at every step. Errors too inveterate
to be eradicated have rooted themselves
in the soil. Associations the most
unnatural and forced have been established
by dint of words. Offences the most dissimilar
in the quantity and quality of
their mischief have been compressed
together by unity of denomination under one and the same name.

Whatnothing can be more unlike than the mischief
of many of those acts aggregated
respectively under the appellations denominations of
Murder, Perjury and Treason?

+ Acts with which
the multitude are
conversant, it is the
multitude who
denominate.

The multitude To denominate is to classif.
The terms expressive of general ideas to determinate
is to class.+ The multitude has
established a classification of it's own
which runs counter to all the purposes
of that classification. The classification to be endeavoured at, is that [which takes the generative

offences for it's object] The multitude

We have now to class them — why? to

occur.+ Same answer should be provided
for these questions.

Another property requisite in a plan of
classification is that it be all-comprehensive.
That it comprehended all the
Articles that can come under the Science.
That the marks of identity congruity and distinction
which it sets up that be such as shall
be demonstrable in every any Article that can be
proposed.
