ts meaning it stands opposed to the word _euristic_
(_hevristisch_ in German). But in the second edition, published in 1818, it
is remarked, under the words _evristic_, _euristic_, _hevristisch_, that
the term should, in Sir Wm. Hamilton's opinion, be _euretic_ or _heuretic_;
the word _hevristisch_ being an error of long standing in German
philosophy. The derivation of _euretic_ would be from [Greek: heuretikos].

In Tissot's translation, _hevristisch_ is rendered by _heuristique_; in
Mantovani's, by _evristico_; in Born's, by _heuristicus_. In Krug's
_Lexicon_, _hevristik_ is given as derived from [Greek: heurisko, heurein].
The _hevristic_ method, Krug remarks, is also called the _analytical_. It
may be added, that in the first edition of the _Critik_ (Riga, 1781), the
word is _hevristisch_. In the fourth edition (Riga, 1794), published also
in Kant's lifetime, it is _hevristisch_. In Rosenkranz's edition (Leipzig,
1838), the word is changed into _heuristisch_; and also, in another edition
of the same year, published also at Leipzig, it is written _heuristisch_,
and not _hevristisch_.

In respect to the Leipzig edition of 1818, which is that now before me, the
term _hevristisch_, in speaking of _hevristich_ principles, is particularly
alluded to. (See page 512. line 10.) I do not find, after a hasty
inspection, this word changed, in any of the editions I possess, to
_empirisch_.

_Creole_ (Vol. vii., p. 381.).--The word appears to be a French form of the
Spanish _criollo_, which in the dictionary of Nunez de Taboada is defined,
"El hijo de padres Europeos nacido en America;" whilst in the old
dictionary of Stevens (1726) it is translated, "Son of a Spaniard and a
West India woman." In Brande's _Dictionary of Science_, &c. Creole is said
to mean the descendants of whites born in Mexico, South America, or the
West Indies, the blood remaining unmixed with that of other races, &c.

Von Tschudi says, that in South America the Spaniards apply the term
_Creole_ not only to the human race, but also to horses, bullocks, and even
to poultry.
