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.
