'.2. Of useful instruction how much and what has been obtained and is obtainable from it.

Thus compleatly (it has been seen) has the disputative branch of this art that which was regarded as the main and crowning branch failed in the accomplishment of its promise.

But, besides that as hath already been observed, in and by the precedent and supposed subservient branches of the same system of instruction - many and very useful helps to instruction - helps to the human mind in its labours in the field of art and science and even in that of ordinary discourse and converse - were afforded, - so it is that neither has this part of the system notwithstanding the compleatness of its failure so far as concerns its principal object been altogether without its use.
