Physicist, is compelled to work with instruments which have been blunted by common use. His terms of art are already well known to his readers, some in a loose and popular and some in a narrow and technical, but all in some sense or other which is not precisely that, whatever it may be, in which he intends to use them. He will therefore perpetually fail to convey his true meaning, unless he can prevail upon the student to remember that words which he has been using all his life in one sense are now being used and reasoned upon in another. No mere positive statement is likely to be suffi cient for this purpose. It is only by minutely specifying the distinctions between the various meanings which the word in question bears commonly and the particular meaning which it is to bear now, that the familiar sound can be prevented from bringing with it the familiar association.
