Language

First expressions: those
of desire: Next they express wants
raciocinative
to shew that his demands
are just
Next the existative
to the
will.

Imperative language
from parents. 1 good
of children. 2
as masters of children
for good of
parents.

Its only a long time
after that when
philosophers arose
that language
used as anchor to
thought.

1st interjection
wants
names and verbs which
are irregular are
the first in demand
when they are irregular
Audible signs first
next visible.

qua
Aft wants for the
Quality of languages
Copiousness: facile
formation of new
conjugates.
Purity in language
is much praised: &
this is a prejudice against
the introduction of
new words & by
that means of new

ideas for by that
new words can have
no new signs to
serve as anchors
for their retention
in the mind

There is no scruple
to adding new terms
for use in natural
history.

It It is to my
mind a decided objection
to the assimilation
of alphabets as
it would confound
etymology and etymology
being useful to
preserve the connection
between the
psychological idea
and the physical
idea in which the
psychological idea
has its root.

Curious the
modes by which
language has
been formed (the
analytical) &
the synthetical
by which it has
been improved: by
synthesis language
has been pushed on
and on until it
has arrived at
Algebra.

Seldom that by man
becomes
Giving
instead of equivalent
propositions

Give An example of
the introduction of
the new terms is to
be found in the
names of acts of
parliament instead of the
titles of the acts.

Care be should be
taken in the
penning of laws
to give admission
to succedaneum.

Spoken word serves to
anchor the idea
and a written word
serves to anchor
the spoken word.

Improving language
by adding to its
copiousness: how
can one person
do it: by introducing
new words,
and phrases and
proposing to the
people to use it.

Propositions
resolved into subject
and attribute.
The copula are in
predicating existences
of the
subject matter
to which it is
applied.

Synthesis by
posological
notation.

The fewer inflective
language has the
few shorter time
it is learned by inflec
discourse is meant included
what is usually designated by
declensions and
conjugations.

Require as much as
possible to be done
with shall and will
inasmuch as they
save inflexions.

The language which
it is the most
desirable for a
person to study
in study addition
to his own is that
possessing the
persons most of
the desirrable
properties of
language.

Verbs substantives
make reparation.
All these terms
allow you the
advantage of
the substantial
forms whereas if
it be in the
verbal form it
strips this through
your fingers and
you cannot detain
it for any length
of time.

The species contained
within its compass
no not only the
actual but the
possible persons
individuals of the
character designated.
If the species contained
only known
individuals they
would be named

Genus & species
in a state of
reticulation instead
of concatenation
because concatenation
so designates
only one
line whereas reticulation
designated the pervasion
over or under field.
