This is in the beginning: "THERE is scarcely anything of more frequent occurrence than the transition from an incorrect mode of expression to a popular error we see instances of this daily occurring. No doubt the incorrect mode of expression usually arises in the first instance either from confusion of ideas or false appreciation of facts or both taken together but when once brought into currency it is frequently accepted not only as a fitting designation but actually as a true explanation of the nature or mode of operation of the thing designated and thus grows into what is called a popular error. It is more especially in matters connected with mechanical contrivances that we observe this to take place and the reason is very obvious. Such modes of expression originate with what are called practical men who seldom having leisure or scientific education sufficient to enable them to construct at once correct definitions commonly judge by the eye or the touch and translate the evidence of one of these senses into a name."
