| But not to follow this subject too far, we have now established three species
| of representations:  'copies', 'signs', and 'symbols';  of the last of which
| only logic treats.  A second approximation to a definition of it then will
| be, the science of symbols in general and as such.  But this definition
| is still too broad;  this might, indeed, form the definitiun of a
| certain science which would be a branch of Semiotic or the general
| science of representations which might be called Symbolistic, and
| of this logic would be a species.  But logic only considers
| symbols from a particular point of view.
