    In [...?] or law /nature[?] medium/ bad arrangement is like putting up shillings in a rouleau which ought to have nothing in it but guineas: keeping together on all occasions objects which on all or most or many occasions ought to be separate and receive separate distinctions.

    In the psychical mode of methodization, arrangement of the names of the objects in a determinate figure - such a line, vertical or horizontal or vertical, is arrangement on the principle of lineal succession: arrangement of them under a common denomination is arrangement on the principle of aggregation and inclosure: the name, the common denomination is as it were the box, the rouleau in which they are inclosed and by which they are kept together.

    Numbers are in methodical order or their visual[?] order in which they have one for their common difference: in any othr they would be unmethodical, confused, difficultly apprehensible and comprehensible.

    Methodized otherwise than by means of priority and posteriority, methodized without regard to priority and posteriority, objects may be said to be methodized by simple aggregation, in any inclusion: by being shut up, all together, in a box, or as it were in a box.

    To physical and to psychical methodization this distinction is alike applicable.

    Ten counters,[?] guineas, say fifty, in number exhibited in a row are methodized by means of succession: enclosed altogether in a rouleau - a sort of extempore paperbox - they are methodized by aggregation and inclosure or inclusion.

    Where the number is thus great, the superior convenience of the principle of aggregation and inclosure, as compared with the principle of succession has been experienced by the gamesters whose invention it was, and of this convenience the existence is evidenced by their practice. Displayed in a row, such a number would have required time and labour for the counting of it, and more for the recollection and redisplay of it: disposed in a rouleau, an aggregate in the inclusion of which the number of its elementary parts is known, no counting, no collection, no re-display is necessary.
