Where the ideas which a man imbibes from the subject are done,
he pays little regard to the expression in which instance his they are
and in which custom have presented them to his view. In that case expressed

In the practice of mathematicians, the geometrical
disposition of the geometrical cast and propositions of
the algebraical cast are to an extent which
seems not to have been as yet determined, considered as
inter convertible, and employed indifferently the one or the
other, and upon occasion translated into each other.
Where although in the particular subject to which they are
respectively applied, figure although it have has place, may without
inconvenience in the shape of error erroneous or unknown an other shape
be laid out of consideration, in this case, instead of
geometry which in this case seems the more
and natural form, algebra may be if employed is employed without
inconvenience fiction and may therefore be employed
without production of obscurity, without inconvenience
in that shape, and if the ap in proportion to the sought
for result is arrived at, with less labour and delay more promptitude
with clear and positive and net advantage.
On the other hand But if in a case in which figure can not have
place, geometry as in the case of calculations concerning
degrees of probability as expressed by numbers, if geometry
in any proposition be clothed in the geometrical form
so far will fiction have been employed and will
its never-failing accompaniment fiction be obscurity have been introduced.
