TABULATION.
Such a Table will be as it were is a System of connected Definitions exhibited
at a view — but only in an inverse order.
The most compleat & adequate kind of definition is allow'd to be by the Logicians, that which in their petty language consists of the Genus & the difference: which indicates of what kind the thing is of, & the property in which it differs from other things also which are also of that kind. The partial trunk is + + with respect to those which stand next to it on the side most remote from the universal Trunk, the Genus, the its several Branches
the species & the opposition which is perceivable between
those Branches gives the . The
Popular term, which hanging on the Branch is an
appendage may be stiled the Fruit, is the
So that beginning to one who should begin at the Trunk & so proceed carry his
eye along the Branches the definitions will come
present themselves out in [the an inverse] order the inverse of that

This may justly enough be termed the Fruit: for the due
rearing & fixing it is the end Fruit of the enquiry.
The best method of Tabulation (where the subject will
admitt of it) is &c Now then the in such a Table every partial Trunk &c
We may observe in this Table, how at every ramification
the branch in order to become a partial
Trunk (it's essence remaining the same) shifts it's
form & from the Attributive in order that it may
receive + + adapt itself to another Attributive, turns itself into a Substantive.

I say, shifts its form, unless any one prefer the
of it as retaining it, in which case it cleaves to & & unites
itself to to it & Radical the preceding Substantive, which now therefore must be
consider'd as applying itself successively to the branches
of every ramification.
