which this science has over the others, as example
of accurate reasoning. The Ideas to be
compared are few. This science considers
objects in one or at most in two points
of view only, this figure & their Quantity.
The terms used are no [approach near are not expression of Ideas
to simple Ideas so complex as thosethan they] of other sciences.
Take an example
To prove the advantage of this science
in exemplifying the method of correct
reasoning. Let such reasoning be
exemplified by some proposition in
Morality & Chemistry, and see the
difficulty you will be at in finding
Postulates which shall be generally received
as such, and see upo of what complex
Ideas the terms used will be expressive
of. In prop:s of morality in particular.
examine here some moral proposition expressing
some mode of conduct which men would be happier [it would be better]
if they observed. Shew how impracticable it would
be to find postulates which interest & passion would
not permi to be generally received.
shew how far the Ideas are removed from
simple ones, including with nothing it
