In the Chrestomathic school time will not scarcely allow of the
giving admission to more than a comparatively small part
of those mathematically mathematical propositions which
are at not only practically true but practically
useful: much less if the giving admission to any that
possess not the essentialindispensable requisite.
In so far as practicable, it will therefore be
highly useful that the separation selection should be made.
For making the separation a principle of distinction has already has just 20 or 5
