Quantity is that which every proposition in mathematics
has for its subject.

Quantity not having respect to figure is abstract number
it is this which every proposition in arithmetic, algebra included, has for its subject.

Quantity having respect to for figure is that which
every proposition in Geometry has for its subject.

Subjects susceptible of figure are bodies i.e. portions
of spaces considered as containing matter and spaces i.e. portions of space considered
as not containing matter: and motions which are
considered as having existence in so far as a body which
at one time is considered as occupying one portion of
space is at another time considered as occupying
another portion of space. The body is in that case
said to be or to have been in motion, and of the several portions of space
which it is considered as having during successively occupied
during that time, the track or path of the body
is composed.

The term event is an appellation given to Any motion of combination of motions, or the to

such motion or combination of motions, whatsoever be

having for their object the discovery of the number of those events likely
to have place within
a given length of time
may be considered as
applied to practical use.
