Applicability and

shape erroneously ascribed
to it: viz. Ethics
including morals and politics

Relation of Logic to Oratory or say Rhetoric, and Poetry
One branch of Logic considered as an art in branch is
the art of apt representation: Inapt representation is
misrepresentation. The art of misrepresentation has
two branches: misrepresentation in prose, and misrepresentation
in verse. Misrepresentation in prose is
Oratory or Rhetoric: misrepresentation in verse is Poetry

11.
Ethics how far Mathematics is capable
of being made serviceable
to Ethics — Maximization
— Minimization — phrases
expressive of relation between
quantities — In so far as
as is to so is
to

Elements of appropriate aptitude in a portion of discourse
considered singly say an a single proposition are
1 clearness, 2. correctness. 3. compleatness. Given clearness
and correctness you unmask Oratory, you freeze and kill
Poetry

12
Relative and proportional
expressions substituted to
absolute which in Ethics
are scarce ever true

Oratory and Poetry are both of them ready instruments
and necessary instruments in the hand of immorality
public and private. Being instruments useful to immorality,
they afford incitement to it

Modes of Designation or expression
1. Purely verbal
2. Purely figurative or Graphic
3. Mixt, composed of both

Their respective utilities

surprize is proportioned to ignorance deficiency of knowle

14
Motion and time how
far and how capable
of constituting the subject
of posology, alegomorphic
and morphoscopic

Poetry — its analogy to punning. As punning grows out
of fashion, so finally will poetry

15
Motion — — the idea of
it as compounded of those
of time and space

Motion an element of
force or power in Mechanics

The fondness for poetry in England is connected with
Aristocracy. It is one of the instruments by which the confederacy
between Monarchical and Aristocratical take
to heart and delight in diverting the attention from the subjects of a matter of Religion and Constitutional
Laws.
