It was the consciousness of the necessity of dividing
into aliquots, to judge of the Proportion which
one bears to the other, that induced men
to set about inventing Barometers, Thermometers,
Anemometers, steel yards spring & not, Electrometers, on which a line
might be divided to represent the imaginary
aliquots of the several properties they were
meant to measure so as to be expressed
by counting only the number of those aliquots.
Then here exemplified come under the same head the
manner in which they indicate it is this,
Scales come under there another head
Hydrostatic balance another
Graduated Rule another.

But it is not the business here to trace
describe in what manner they act how
it is that each of divisions there indicate similar increase
or dimensions in these properties they measure

General
Instructions
for division
into aliquots
impracticable.

The various ways in which they must be done
in which aliquots must be found to measure
each of the all the properties of bodies that
are as yet Measurable sufficiently then
how far it is from the object of a book
of Geometry.+ the Such books suppose
