Ch. 1. Uses
§. 4 Need of use

§.2. Use of posology Uses

§. 1. Uses of posology — Posology — its uses. §. 2. Posology — its branches.
§. 3. Different mode of or parts of uses in which it may be considered as
1. the analytic. 2. the synthetic
1
First thing to be
considered the use.
1. In an elementary treatise on posology, the f object which
should in the first be presented to consideration which stands first in the proper order of consideration is the use: the
use of the whole considered in the aggregate, and the use of the
several parts observable in it, each of them considered apart from
all the others
2
2 Use or a partial use or say ultimate use — use in an instrumental
way or say intermediate use: to by use or other of this
heads belongs may be designated every use which can be found to belong to it.
2
Why? because in its
usefulness consists
its whole value
2. First in order of consideration should this topic be
presented to view. Why? Answer. Because, in the use, which it
is capable of being applied to , the benefit capable of being derived
from it — the good capable of being done by it or and received from it — consists all the
value which it can have — all the value which can belong to it. In
that this consists all the by means of which are reasons in capable of
affording an adequate inducement — indeed any inducement at all —
for undertaking the labour the vast immense labour of so inseparably attached to
the study of a subject so and abstract uninviting — abstract: — drawn aside
to so wide a distance from every perception of which immediate
enjoyment is the accompaniment.
3.
Use taken away, time
employed thrown
away: better employed
at push-pin.
3 Take away all use, and what follows? that the all time employed
upon it is so much thrown away: that the in the scale of value of it the place
is below that of push pin: for from push pin pleasure is reaped
or it would not be played at: whereas from posology, abstracts
made/mode of the use nothing but better than labour — hard labour of the mind —
in a word pain of pain of mind is reaped the result
4.
The use of some
sciences shown by
their names — as
cookery, medicine —
not so posology.
4 By Of some branches Of the tree of art and science the some
use presents itself the instant the branches there are, in the instance of of which the instances
the name presents itself the use or uses present themselves along
with it: witness, cookery, medicine, architecture
Of this number, posology is not one
