Definitions.

It is curious, the love some people
have of definitions. They are the de-
light of persons who think. but whose
thinking has not gone great way. It
is not hard to understand why defini-
tons are in such favor. To begin with,
they save a good deal of trouble; it is
pleasant to know that we have the re-
suit of much patient thought and care
full investigation put up for our use in a
neat, compact little bundle, easily port
able without fatigue. definitions are
compressions of large truth into small
compass. and it is plain that they may
be very useful things; but the difficulty
with them is that they are not always
trustworthy, and it is just this essential
point about them which the definition
lover is incompetent to decide. He
wants Assure rule of judgment in q GER
tain matter. because he himself does not
understand 1t well enough to do with
out a definition, or TO make one of him
self. Oddly enough, he is often igno-
rant of what a definition is; he needs,
first of all, to have the meaning of that
word defined for him. 4tlaptsc.
