Supplement
§.2. Elucidation
The mass of instruction errone irrensedia
For the purpose of applying such remedy as
the nature of species of the case admitts of, the thing to be ascertained
in the first place is to ascertain in the first is whether there
be any, and if any what part of the ins
brought to view in the first place is — of the mass of
instruction capable of being afforded by personal evidence, that
part, which, by every such removal of the elicitative
process from Judge to Judge, can not but be irrevocably
extinguished: this being unavoidably given up, then comes the bringing
to view that operation, by means of which whatsoever is
remains capable of being preserved shall be preserved. [+]
[+] Necessary to this purpose
is reference to the
signs by which the
communication is made
between mind and mind,
conventional evanescent,
words spoken: conventional
permanent, words
written: natural,
intonation, countenance
gesture and deportment:
all these conversant,
except countenance
and gesture
excepted in so far as it may
have happened to them
to have received permanence
from this or
that branch of the imitative
art. (a)
The mass Now then, what is the mass of instruction incapable of being preserved? It is — the difference
between that instruction the afforded by the evanescent conventional
audible sign, stiled spoken words, and on the one part, and, on the other part that afforded by the
correspondent visible signs termed written words, together correspondent permanent signs and sometimes
tangible signs
with the addition of a design an account thereby given by these same such description as can be given
nature permanent sign of the natural signs, with which such by means of those same permanent conventional
signs. are frequently, though not necessarily or constantly
accompanied, and the written conventional signs simply
unaccompanied with all any account of those same natural
ones. By the the evanescent conventional signs understand those of which
the several languages are composed: by the natural signs,
intimation, countenance, gesture and deportment at large
evanescent
conventional signs, His words
spoken, permanent
conventional signs, words spoken
written: natural
signs, intonation
countenance, gesture
and deportment at
large: composed of
the words spoken, with
or without the addition
of the words correspondent
words written, are
the several languages
in use.
In the description thus explicitly given of the imperfection, that of
the remedy, the only remedy which it admitts of, is implicitly
continued. On each occasion Cause to be written down the or the conventional verbal description
of these such of these same virtual signs as such of them as to which as on that same occasion
it have happened to make their appearance exhibit themselves be exhibited.
