a judgment on the aptitude of the Law in question considered as a
means employed in and for the attainment of that end. — To this purpose
comes the need of the ideas expression to which is given by the
Rules — Axioms — Principles — two mutually and intricately connected words Rule and
Principle. —

61

Correspondent to every rule you may have
a principle: — correspondent to every principle
you may have a rule

Of these two a rule is the object which
requires first to be taken into consideration and
presented to view — Why — because it is only by means of
a rule that any moving force can be applied to the
active faculty, or any guide to the intellectual, any
mandate can be issued, — any instruction conveyed.

A rule is a proposition: an entire proposition:
a principle is but a term. — True it is, — that by a
principle instruction may be conveyed. — Conveyed,? yes,
But how? — No otherwise than through the medium of a
proposition, — the corresponding proposition; — the proposition
which it has the effect of presenting to the mind; — Of
presenting? — yes: and we may add, and of bringing
back: — for only in so far as the the rule has been at
the time in question or some anterior time present to
the mind can any instruction, — any clear idea
be presented to the mind by a principle.

A principle; therefore is as it were an
abridgment of the corresponding proposition rule; — in the
compass of a single term it serves to convey for some
particular present use, to a mind already in possession
of the rule, the essence of it: — it is to the rule, what the
essential oil is to the plant from which it is distilled. —

So it does but answer this purpose, its uses
are great and indisputable

1. It saves words and thereby time. —

2. By consisting of nothing more than a single
term and that term a nonsubstantive it presents an object
which by an apt assortment of other words, is upon occasion
capable of being made up into another proposition.
So.
