The inconveniences themselves being in these eight last instances cloathed materially in a positive garb, the corresponding ends - the ends consisting in the avoidance of these respective inconveniences would if the same plan of nomenclatures were pursued without variation be required to be cloathed in a negative garb; as thus. N o 2. Non-application of punishment where not due: N o 4. Non-application of satisfaction where not due; N o 6. Non-collation of rights where not due. N o 7. Non-occasionment of expence where not necessarily /unnecessary/; N o 8. Non-occasionment of vexation (miscellaneous) where not necessary. N o 9. Non-delay - or non-occasionment of delay, where unnecessary: N o 10. Non-precipitation, or avoidance of precipitation. N o 11. Non-intricacy, or avoidance of intricacy /to produce intricacy/.

Note

These observations /speculations/ relative to the conversion of terms and [...?] of the propositions into the composition of which they enter from the negative form into the positive and vice versâ, are analogous to some of the speculations exhibited in the books called /which under the name of/ Logical compounds are studied in the English Universities books which thought they bear on the title page the art or science of logic taken without distinction, and consequently in its whole extent, are confirmed in their views to that branch which is properly termed Dualities[?], and to which whatever instruction is given referable to any other branch is made subservient. All laws, as such being so many manifestations of will, so much of logic as applies itself, to the matter of the laws - to the field of legislation, and to the exertions /labours/ in that field, has been proposed already to be stated the logic of the will.
