'.3.II. Field of exercise appertaining to this art.

The definition of this art being given, as above, the field of its exercise has been already given. Within it is contained the field of every other art - the field of every science - the field in a word of every occupation, such alone excepted, if any such there be, to the exercise of which in the most advantageous manner, no exertion of mental power is either necessary or in any way conducive.

    In the character of an appendage /As appendages/ to that /After a definition of the word logic, in the/ definition the Aristotelians have brought to view terms a cluster of abstract terms which had presented themselves as in some way or other appertaining to it, and as promising to contribute to the explanation of the nature of the art {designated by it the end which that term was employed by them to designate} /defined by it/.

    Precognita de naturâ Logicæ is the title given prefixed to the Chapter {being Chapter the first} in which, in the Compendium of Sanderson, the definition of Logic, with these explanations subjoined to it is contained.

    An Occupation, the performance of which is considered as not requiring study - an occupation the performance of which is considered as requiring study: - {i.e. a course of labour viz. mental alone, or mental and bodily together, employed in the endeavour to perform them /it/ in a manner suitable /conducive/ to the end in view -} under one or other of these appellations /descriptions/ may every sort of occupation which ever is was or can be exercised by any human being, be comprised.

    Occupations of the studious kind consisting in the acquiring or endeavouring to acquire what is called knowledge - i.e. to obtain correct conceptions and judgements on in relation to each subject in question, but without activity /action/ in any shape except what is /that which is/ exerted or employed in the attainment of those conceptions and the formation of those judgements.

    Of occupations of the speculative class the acquisition of science is the result or object in as far as the occupations speculative are of the speculative class.

    Science the product of studious occupations of the former class: in the exercise of art consists the performance of /art is concerned by the the performance of/ operations of the practical class, art is exercised.

    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.
