Functions applicable to any other branch of art and science. In relation to art and science without distinction, teaching and learning, and teaching and improving: in relation to art, practising.

For the exercise of these functions, method will in every branch of art and science be found capable of affording useful direction and large /eminent[?]/ assistance.

Correctness and compleatness - in these intimately connected though still distinguishable qualities will be found so many properties desirable in relation to the view taken, - or the conception formed and retained of the matter of - of any branch, whatsoever it be, of science.

Towards conferring on the conception these kindred qualities, be the science what it may, methodization taken, as above, in the strictest and narrowest sense of which the word is susceptible, will be found rendering indisputably serviceable assistance.

In relation to every other branch of art, Methodization, considered in respect of its successive-location branch indicates as the object which on the occasion of whatsoever is done or contrived in the practice of it should always occupy the first place, the characteristic End in view: and

An object correspondent to the end in view is composed of the Properties desirable on the part of the sort of work whatsoever it be, which the art in question has for its fruit.
