     <The division of the subj>  <Our> {My} subject therefore will divide itself
15   only into the investigation of Ideas of truth . beauty . & relation
     And <the> to each of these I destine a separate portion of the work  .
     The investigation of Ideas of truth will lead to us to determine the relative
     rank of artists , as <faithful> {simple}followers of nature.
     That of Ideas of beauty will lead us to compare them in <technical>
20   their attainment of what is agreeable in colour . composition , &c and chiefly {finally}

     above itself -   This is the simple philological signification of the
     word - derived from Sublimis.  And will serve as much more easily -
     and be a far clearer and more evident ground of argument than any
     more* metaphysical . or more confined definition .  which the proof of the
