The following paragraph has been deleted. 7 Looking into Euclids elements of Geometry, we may see four sorts of things which as employable and actually employed employed in the character of means of demonstration and effectuation, as above. These are 1. Definitions. 2. Axioms 3. Postulates. 4. Propositions.
8 1. Definitions. A definition is nothing but an exemplification of one of the four modes of equation above -mentioned. 1 Grammatic's, a 2. Logic's, an equivalent to the term defined: Using against its un- by the words employed for that purpose
8. 1. First as to a Definitions. This is nothing but an exemplification of one of the four modes of equivalence elsewhere spoken of. It is, in the language of Grammarian's language a sentence — in Logicians language a proposition, exhibited in the character of an equivalent to the term defined; lest otherwise the term should fail of calling forth up in the mind the idea which it is desired and endeavoured so to call up. Vertical mark In this case the definition as being by the supposition the source of producing this effect in the mind in question then the term defined is — would on each occasion be employed, but for the long-windedness of it, and the entanglement it would contract with the remainder of any words of which the sentence it formed part of could be composed. The term defined is therefore accordingly as means of abbreviation of Of a definition defined — say in the word definand performs accordingly the office of and abbreviation with reference to the definition given of it.
