SECT. I. Law in general. 2

A Definition should be composed of terms that
[The terms employed in a Definition should] have a meaning
in the mind of him who uses them; that meaning should be such
as may be made visible to those whom they are addressed to: it
should be more simpleeasy to apprehend on it's conception than that of the term
they are made use of to define to be defined: it should be the same at one time as at ano-
-ther: it should be true of one as well as another of the things cha-
racterized by the terms to be defined: it should be such as may con
tribute to distinguish the things defined from other things they
may be in danger of being considered with. I

In short if we may be allowed to say what it ought not to be: it ought
not to be unmeaning,uninstructive dark, ambiguous, fluctuating, ,
or uncharacteristic. I am in great doubt how this description
of a good definition will tally with our Author's.
