In regard to the jurisprudential division of scientific terms language
the proper and only proper and necessary plan repository source of interpretation
in which they their import can be to be looked for, is the code, the
code all-comprehensive body of statute law itself. In this
receptacle if any where they must find that interpretation.
And But their interpretation, in what will it consist? – In the
giving on the occasion of each such scientific word, or scientific
combination of words, by the supposition test in general
use, its equivalent in a portion of discourse composed altogether
of such words as are in general use.

That this is feasible, may be averred with confidence.
In regard to each such word, either if a man and comprehends
the meaning of it, the proof and test of his so doing is his
being able to deliver suppress the meaning of it in a of discourse
comprized altogether of words in general use. Take
any such scientific word for example: and with it a
lawyer man of law conversant in the degree in which lawyers in
general are, with the words that compose the peculiar appropriate language of
the law. Is the word unintelligible to him? it ought not
to be any where in use, any where among any set of
men: it is not a bond of social intercourse, but a snare. Is it intelligible
to him? he is then able to express the import of it
in other words – in words forming a in general use.
