1. Laxity. From what
imperfections in the choice
and arrangement of words
ambiguity and obscurity
take their rise has been
shewn in the chapter on
the qualities desirable in
language.
2. Fumbling is the natural
result and thence a symptom
of want of preparation.
When the field which a
man has to travel over
is new to him he finds
himself under the necessity
of his picking up as he
goes the asser opinions
which he sees reason to
deliver and the expressions
which in the delivery he
makes use of. The consequence
is that no sooner
has he picked up and
pitched upon one opinion
and clothed in such an
expression as at the moment
have presented themselves
than he finds that
in one way or other they
are deficient in respect
of completeness and
correctness. Then come
clause after clause having
for their object producing
the effect of amplification
reservation, modification
by words indicative of
additive substractive
substitutions we
Besides and again
and then too and
moreover: – it is by
words of this sort that
the symptoms of weakness
here called fumbling
is portrayed.
In some cases the seat of
the disease may be found
in single terms: in other
cases the whole proposition
the whole paragraph and
the whole discourse must
be examined before the
nature of the disease
becomes apparent and
thence the proper mode of
cure can be ascertained.
