In the case of J. B.
so was it in regard to
the art and science of
legislation: but
enough of this.
Even so was it in regard to the art and science of Legislation:
but of this enough already: further particulars will not be required will
not be either called for or wished for

Not till just now
has Logic taken in hand
Posology: Logic, Empress
of all the other arts
& sciences
The case is — that till now — never has the art of Logic
been called in to contribute to the diffusion by contributing to the elucidation
of Posology. Logic — the Empress of all the other Arts and
Sciences
Sciences To the advancement not to the diffusion of the art and science
was the power of those great Geniuses applied. To Posology, yes: to Logic, not.
But enough of digression: time and space call for return
Now for the mode of formation
6
Modes of formation in
the natural order of this
time, this:
1. Abbreviation
Original form that of ordinary
discourse
1 Step the first, single
words signifying each
more than one, initial
of the original one repeated:
two, instead of one and one:
three, instead of one, and
one on one, &c as we
still say one and twenty
1. Roman numerals
First comes Enter first Abbreviation. How, by the process called abstraction
the Idea of number in general — of the ideas of numbers in particular
were formed — were generated — will be shewn to more advantage
further on. At present, For the present purpose suppose them formed.
Originally by it is the character — the variable sign employed in ordinary
discourse — namely the words — the several words — one
two, three, four, and so forth that the several numbers were expressed
that to the several numbers in question the only expression was given
of them was formed the original strike.
1 First step
7
2. Step the second, Roman
Greek and Roman
numeral figures instead
of words belonging to the
ordinary discourses
2. First Second step in the process of abbreviation, this. To these words
were substituted, the numeral signs or say figures 1. 2. 3 and those of the
so forth Roman School I. II. III. IV and so forth. Comparatively speaking These characters were clumsy
instruments: ill-adapted to the purpose.
8.
3. Step the third
3. Arabic numerals
3 Several Third step in the process of abbreviation this. To these figures
of the Roman were substituted substitution made those of the Arabic School namely
1. 2. 3. 4, and so forth
9
4. Addition: 4 for 2
and 2
4. Third Fourth step in the process of abbreviation, this. Between one
and the several another of the several employment made of
different aggregates of these figures, employing equivalent
expressions such as the words, addition, multiplication, substantive
division, square, square root, cube, cube root, 2d
second power third power and so on: as to these, see further
on under the head equivalences.
10
4. Multiplication: 6
for three times 2:
5 4. Fourth Fifth step in the process of abbreviation. To the abovementioned
words equal words addition multiplication and so forth were substituted the
several
several algebraic signs =
+ x - ÷
11
5. Signs for words:
Examples, + - x ÷
