Sinopsis

Excerpt from An Appendix in English Grammar: Including a Great Variety of Important Matter Directing to Good Language, Very Little of Which Has Been Hitherto Given With Etymology and Syntax, Though Proper to Be Classed There

A buck spotted with red paint, and straying into a neigh~ boring flock, is an incident; his scaring the flock by this means is an accident; the sheep's running to get away from him is an incident; but one of them's falling into a ditch in its flight and breaking its leg, is an accident.

If in a doctor's applying a chemical mixture to cure a man's hand, some of it should fall on his white pants and take out a grease spot, the falling of the mixture on his pants would be an accident, and the discovery of this effect of the mixture would be accidental. If in applying a mix~* ture to the head to cure a humor or eruption, it turns the hair red or black, the discovery of its effect on the hair is incidental.

Further on these nice shades of distinction. I have written my name with my eyes shut. (a moment after shows the name.) Ah, did you write that with your eyes shut? Yes, I wrote that with my eyes shut. The product of writing is brought to view in the last two sentences, and this carries the act away from the present moment. But in the first instance the result of the act of writing is not given, so that there is nothing to cut off an allusion to the act from the present time.
