CLASSIFICATION NEW. Observations on 3d Class.
It must be confessed This separation of the unterrific from other
Homicides, is a departure from naturality:
one of the properties which we have enumerated among
the requisites in a scheme/method of classification
as believing to be
attached to as being in general
among requisites
The most obvious conspicuous characteristic of those which
I have inserted in this class, as will <add>being is that</add> which
is common to them with those which I inserted
have ranged under
the firstin the other, viz: the circumstance of death.
It is the most conspicuous, because it is the
only characteristic of either group, that offers strikes
impresses directly
upon itself immediately/directly to these faculties, which are common to alike exercised
by all men, +, the senses. For these characteristics
of each whereby they differ, are to speak the truth so far from
being conspicuous, that is i.e. apprehended many or perhaps most men
readily, that to <add>by
they have not been apprehended at all.
Any inducement to this departure is no
other than the grand and as it appeared to me superior purpose of making
the arrangement of the articles<a/dd> subservient
to & indicative + <note>+ or of I might so
<add>say remeniscential
of</note> of the principles [for of their æstimating
them] whereby they are to be æstimated.
+ Note. I am speaking now of the spectators,
those who contemplate the transaction in act or in idea: not
the patients, those who are the objects of it.
A Classification is natural where it places
together those subjects which superficial
observants would expect to find together.
which man upon
a transitory survey superficial observers — those who know no more
of a subject than is suggested to them by
obvious properties and most apparently
interesting — as different sorts of which in place
The naturality of the arrangement depends
upon the identity or at least similarity
of the natural appearance, or physical
phasis, as it might be called, of these articles
which are cast under the same division || || general or hyper-general
denomination<note>
But this physical phasis is of several offences utterly different from || <note>|| unconformable to
