Employed in numeration
signs have
1. Ordinary or say unscientific
2. Scientific

Question 1. How many and what are the sorts of
signs that require in the first place to be considered under
the head of numeration?

Answer. Two: namely the ordinary, or unscientific:
and the arithmetical or scientific

2
Unscientific, or words
at length — one, two,

Question 2. What do you understand by the ordinary or
unscientific signs?

Answer. Those which belong to the body of the language:
for example composing so many words,
each word composed of letters as in the case
of other words: for example one, two, three, and so on

3
Scientific or figures
1, 2, &c

Question 3. What do you understand by the arithmetical
or scientific signs

Answer Those which belong exclusively to the branch
of posology, and those of art and science, called
arithmetical: These are commonly frequently enough called figures

4
Figures are signs of
signs.

Question 4. What then are these same figures, considered
with relation to these same words?

Answer. They are signs of those signs.

5
Use of signs of signs
1. Conciseness to expression
thence
2. Promptitude of performance.

Question 5. What is the particular use of this secondary
sort of visible or tangible signs?

Answer. To give greater conciseness to the result of the
operations performed by means of them, and by that means
greater promptitude to the operations themselves: as will be seen
when the several means of prompt conciseness and promptitude employed
in
in and by this branch
of art and science
come to be separately
brought to view.
