§. 6. Leaving Onomatology, we descend to Pragmatology, the second part of this chapter. The definition holds the first place, not indeed the nominal one inculcated briefly above, but the real one. However, this is not to be supplied in the same context, since we are ordered to pursue our work distinctly here. For there are three things to which we must look with fixed eyes, namely the Magnet stone, Magnetism or action on other magnetic bodies, iron especially and both poles of the world, and finally Magnetism in general.
