Sole means of making
useful application of
Posology to Deontology
especially to public do.
introducing, in so far
as needful and manifestly
instructive, the idea of
proportionality.

Addendum to Benthams ideas employed as instruments
of investigation and demonstration.

Application of Posology especially Aneugraphiic or say Arithmetic to Deontology: especially
public Deontology.

The idea of proportionality introduced whenever
the subject requires it: which is as much as to say whenever
the subject admitts of it

Examples — —
1. In so far as
2. In proportion as —
3. In the direct ratio
4. In the inverse ratio
5.
6. Degrees
7.

Exemplification and Indications of the application thus made are the following
phrases

1. In so far as — in proportion as — in the direct ratio directly,
in the inverse ratio — inversely:

2. Maximum — minimums to maximize — to minimize

7
Use of this, Pu
of correct and
generality
true to incorrect and
false conceptions of the
quantities in question
the language assertion commonly
employed made on these
occasions being commonly
false in many more
instances than in those
in which it is true,
what is asserted being
true in a more than
a few degrees on a scale
of perhaps indefinite
length

Incorrectness is incompleatness
— — in these cases this is the
only alternative

For All phrases in which quantity For want of the introduction
of this idea of proportionality all phrases propositions in which
the idea of quantity is introduced are commonly very generally inapt:
they are either incorrect or incompleat: they are
comparatively obscure: By means of the unmeasured and untended quantity what is true in no more than
a certain proportion of the groupe of instances brought to
view is stated as if it were true of all of them: this
is incorrectness: is stated as true only of an indeterminate
a number altogether indeterminate: in so far as in a direct way as by reference
to other objects it were possible to apply in any direction in all directions as
a limit to the quantity in question, this is incompleatness
