Of the field of exercise belonging to this master art, the all comprehensiveness, on the supposition that the definition above given of it is a proper one, will upon examination it is believed be sufficiently manifest. In it will be found comprehended not only every thing that ever went /all science and all /every/ arts can go/ by the name of art, but every other subject of contemplation or occupation {ordinary or extraordinary} which it is possible for the human faculties under the guidance of human reason to be applied: every occupation, including the most common and unartificial as well as the most extraordinary of those occupations by which the measure of human life is filled up.

In no such comprehensive, nor indeed in any steady point of view, does it appear to have ever hitherto been considered.

By the Aristotelians it has been in the same breath as comprehending the field of science alone, and as comprehending that same field with the addition of the field of art.
