It is a misfortune one
cannot but lament upon
this occasion.
Our language unhappily wants the Subdisjunction Conjunc
-tion, I mean a conjunction which shall have the Subdisjunc-
tive expository or explanatorysense of no other: a conjunction to answer to the [] of the
Greeks, and the [] of the Latins -- Our [<gap>] being both
Subdisjunctive & disjunctive one can never tell whether the
last of the two words which it couples be just in apposition
or in opposition to the first: a man cannot discover in the</lb> instance of two subjects the one of which he does not well
understand whether it denotes identity or diversity between
them.
+12.G.3.73
Thus when he reads in the Builders Act+ that "All the
Tunnels of certain Chimnies shall be "plaistered or par-
getted" in certain parts, If the word "pargetted" happens to
be new to him, (as doubtless it is to many)he it is be un
certain to him whether these two words denote one and the
same operation to be performed upon the subject or two dif-
ferent operations of which the Workman may take his
choice.
