THEFT. 10

5.thly & lastly. I shall undertake the relative comparative
Estimation of the several particular Offences into
which both Kinds of Distinctions have broken
the general Title.

Before we proceed further, the employing of
a few Words in fixing an Article of Nomenclature
will be by no Means an useless Digression: in
Order if possible to establish that Distinctness of
Conception which is very necessary to a commanding
Knowledge of the Subject, but which practical
Writers have appeared little sollicitous to transmit
or to acquire.

There are two Terms employed and that often
promiscuously in speaking of the Offence in Question
— The one more popular in it's Use and ample in
it's Signification — Theft — The other more technical
in it's Use and confined in it's Signification — Larceny.

The Verb "to steal" with it's Participle "stealing"
is exactly parallel in it's Use and commensurate in
it's Signification with the former of these, being the
same
