Ideas of the Areas of figures confounded with
those of their boundaries.
Where ever it is necessary there should be a particular
construction suited to the particular figure to be
demonstrated, in this case following only under certain
general instructions. in this case the confining
himself to a particular figure has prevented
his seeing the necessity of giving such
general instructions as shall be applicable
to all cases and you are left therefore
to seek for a demonstration to any
other case than that exemplified by
Euclid. Whereas had he gone about
to have given general instructions [+] he [+] without specifying
any particular
example case
unless it were
as a means of
exemplifying the
general proportion
would no doubt have done it is so as that
the scholar being left at liberty to choose
the example the such instructions
have been universally sufficient. [Ex draw
B.D.]. Angle & angular point the same thing,
Distinctions Misplaced, wanting, superabundant.
Axioms made Propositions or Prop. Axioms.
Mathematical Points & lines from what the Ideas of are to be
taken, where their Archetypes can be fa

boundaries of a figure
or the junction of
