Subject: laws


Some of the comments  about the word "law" were helpful.


Browsing through the text gives the first use of "law" as:

"full working out of this principle implies a radical account of the nature
of causal laws, viz. as expressing tendencies of things, not conjunctions of
events."

Presumably later there is a fuller discussion of the 
interrelationship of laws and causes.
