GEOMETY

No 1

When verbal descriptive references are made, the most
general terms may be made use of the highest Genus
of which the proportion can be asserted is made use
of. but when particular insignificant names are
given to each part. the truth of the particular
proposition the figure of which is before you is
only proved. In one case you particularize
only when necessary in the other you always
do it so as that it is left to the scholar
to generalize for himself: this if the
Scholar were aware of would be no bad
exercise but it is chance if he perceives
the necessity of it himself.

2 by confining the demonstration to the particular
figure before one.' The Subject is frequently
not exhausted

" The use of it is in figure and comparisonsimilar
nothing no two things can be compared so
as to judge of the proportion between them
without expressing these in numbers
not even qualities as the happiness of
are ate can not be compared to that of
another without the assistance of numbers
this may at first might appear ridiculous
but upon closer examination not so for instance
