over and above such explanations as,⊞ <hi rend="superscript">⊞ in the case of the demonstrative and preparatory parts of the several propositions</hi> resulted could not but result

whereby these instruments of condensation were applied
in practice, and endeavoured to be put in use. Of matter

the solution of the several problems, unless it be in
a few instances as above, for illustration, the full and entire use of these
