Chrest. Tab. II. Conclusion

A sense a clear perception To the removal f the difficulties, by which
in the minds mind of a learner of the generality of learners progress is most
apt to be impeded, a strong and clear sense perception of them
is at least useful conducive if not indispensably necessary: and
the greater larger the proportion a man has of that sort and strength of talent
which qualifies him by which he is qualified and disposed for invention, the less strong is will naturally be the
proportion which left by any such difficulties in his mind.

Placed Let drop at the threshold of the , when crossing the track of
A little verbal inaccuracy which to the eyes and
feet of the adept an adept standing on in the higher upper will be a like a thread of gossamer
be an object altogether imperceptible will if in
the eyes of many a person be at least a
will if not an insurmountable , be a troublesome
and for a long time a stumbling block.

In this part as in so many others of the field of art and science, dazzled
not to say blinded by the splendor glory which a great
name, math men professors have scarce suffered themselves their eyes to be opened
stand open themselves
to see to any thing like an imperfection in the on the part object
of their admiration: and hence it is that so
long as it affects not the substance the very vital part of the art and science

learners are put to torture, would might, if searched
for by eyes wholly unprejudiced be found, it is believed
in greater numbers than is commonly so much as
suspected.

For illustration and so far as they go, even for
demonstration proof, the following examples taken from each
of the three great divisions many departments of mathematics – viz. Geometry
Algebra and Fluxions, no one of them requiring intellection for the
conception of it, any the smallest degree the the lowest degree of sufficiency acquaintance with the science to which it
belongs will it is
hoped believed be considered
as not another inapplicable
nor considerable follows.
