For an example of Synthesis and Analysis see [...?]-[...?], p.4[...?]

'. Synthesis, like analysis, is distinguishable into physical and psychical. In neither [...?] is the number of degrees established in the analytic order /method/ determined by d of d in synthetic.

Psychical say logical division supposes the prior /antecedent/ existence of psychical or say logical aggregation. {A bushel of apples - a bushel of wheat - can not be divided, before /until/ it has been collected.} Psychical division has no subject but the ideas commonly called general ideas. These general ideas are all so many aggregate /aggregate ideas/ or say abstract ideas, formed by aggregation and abstraction out of simple ones.

Of the aggregate thus formed, the extent is determined and measured by that of the import of the term, /the name - the appellative/ employed for the expression of it.
