Chrest. Tab. II Conclusion

Square root, cube root – for the expression of relative numbers
how come those names of figures – and those is rather both of them, figures of solids – to be employed?
No where has any expression which seemed altogether as clear are
here as yet found.

In this view, by what follows the following observations will any light be strewn upon
the subject?

Quantity Matter is infinitely divisible – matter is not
infinitely divisible – both these propositions can not be
true – one of them can not but must be true – which of them is
true – it is scarce possible it seems not possible to prove. Let the last
For the present purpose let the latter be supposed to be
true: true or not not true it is rather more distinctly
conceivable than the other, and for the present purpose
the only one that can serve. For the present purpose
let it then be supposed true.

On this supposition, all matter is composed of atoms,
and let them be all of them, of the same size.

In Taken by itself itself one of those atoms make

point may serve as and for, and gives a sort of physical kind of

These least smallest existing atoms suppose them

they really were. Of The rem Of These component for particles of
