To perceive the coincidence similarity of diminution in bulk, it

of the diminution was ascertained was described by
the proportion which the number of gradations the

they occupied after.

This then is one of the this of Geometry

this may not as yet have been put in practice
but no doubt it soon will if it is found
that the respirability can be increased by these
means. Some may perhaps say here that
they have need to think that Geometrical
operations admited of as doubt. grant it but all
that Geometry does here is the measuring the
diminution of the mixtures. whether that diminution
is proportionable to respirability depends on, experiments
producing probability but not yet certainty,
