Mike, List:

As it happens, I am currently in the process of reading and transcribing R
1343, "Of the Classification of the Sciences, Second Paper, Of the
Practical Sciences," once again thanks to the SPIN project (
http://fromthepage.com/collection/show?collection_id=16).  So far, about 40
pages into it, it presents instead a classification of instincts; but if I
remember right, it also includes some discussion about principles of
classification.  I do not have my in-progress transcription with me at the
office, but if I get a chance this evening, I will review it and post
anything relevant that I find.

Regards,
