Punishment
Sixthly, so it be on account of some act that has
been done, and so it be directly intentional it matters not whether it be ultimately intentional
or not or only mediately intentional. In either
case it may, consistently enough with common
usage, bear the name of punishment. However, according
as it was in the one or theother way that It wasthe act
by the intention happened to regard it, the act will
assume a different name as we shall have occasion
to mention presently.
NOTE continued
-tent with the present design, to enter any deeper into
this object subject. That the plainest and most
ordinary discourse is made up of incessant fictions the
reader may see proved in the most satisfactory manner
by M. D'Alembert in his Melanges philosophiques
where he may also observe how particularly
this.
That all the conjunctions we have derived from
verbs and were in fact originally so many real verbs
has been demonstrated rendered probable by a happy union of with great learning and ingenuity
by in a lett pamphlet entitled a Letter from
J. Horne Esq:r to J. Dunning Esq:r in a
in which the author undertakes to prove the same thing
of propositions. It were easy to shew that adverbs are
in like manner resolvable into combinations of words
significative each of them of real entities or resolvable
into such as are. Upon the whole therefore it it seems probable that that that in regard to the business
of definition the maximum of
clearness can never be
perfectly obtained till
all words other than
what a significative
of real entities
have been exterminated.
