Ambiguity and obscurity. Modes of obviating
and excluding.

For obviating and excluding, as far as may
be, the two comunel vices and imperfections, of ambiguity
and obscurity, the nature of the ease affords two
principal main remedies: viz 1. Exposition,2. Synonymation.

1. Exposition requires to be clothed in this or that
one of several different forms, according to the nature species
of word or phrase, by which a demand for this mode of
elucidation is produced.

N.B.Here introduce the account of the different
modes of exposition in use or demand: viz.
1. definition, 2. viz. where the word has a superior
genus: 2. antiphrasis, where the word has no superior
genus.

In the present state of language human
discourse in a the instance of every language as yet
in use, the absence of apt words - apt, viz. to the purpose
of keeping excluded the undesirable qualities of ambiguity
and obscurity, will frequently, to every any mind,
to which the exclusion of those imperfections is an
object of solicitude, be perceptible. here, then, comes
one occasion or cause of demand for new words,
N.B. For another, see Title - Conciseness.

2. Synonymation
