Posology. Jany. 6. 1832.

1. Relation
of the multiplication operation
of the performed
employed in the
keeping accounts
of money to the
multiple operation
performed in
what is called
the Multiplication
table —

2. Relation existing
between the
oper Multiplication
& Division in common
mathematics
& that used in
Logarithms

— In the case of
the Multiplication
table the Multiple
is the same
throughout &
these results
are obtained
by the successive
application made
in of one & the
same multiple
In the other
case the multiplier
a multiplying
number
changes at each
step. The operation
by which the
Multiplication
table commonly
so called is
performed
is an

universally
applying operation
one & the same
to whatsoever
subject matters
application
is made of it.

The Multiplication
one
exemplification
of which is seen
in money accounts
is the a changeable
& un changing
operation:
applied to
money it is
differents from
itself in different
political states
& so can in the
same state at
different times

— Example as
applied to money
take the pound
stating for the
unit — by the
application of the
first multiplier
say 20 you obtain the
shillings — by the
appl application
of the second
multiplier say
12 you obtain
the pence & by
the application
of the third &
last multiplier
you obtain the
farthings. Thus
at each operation

In France a
different multiplier
is employed.
In French money
the unit is the
franc: by the
application of the
only multiplier
100 you get
the centimes
In the United
States the unit
is the dollar &
the application
of the only multiplier
100 you get
the cent — Universally
applying
may be
denominated
the multiplication
table commonly
so called
specially applying
the mutable
a mutably
applying multiplication
table
last mentioned.
The universally-
applying multiplication
table
may be considered
as the result of
the operation
called abstraction.
The abstract
having for its
correspondent
concrete the results
of the changable
mode of multiplication
above-
mentioned.
