Posology

4
Introduction

62 or 1. Logic

Beings are
1. Matter
2. Mind

63 or 2. Logic

Per some to the sign
mind corresponds no
being signified.

64 or 3 Logic

Per them, sole beings
bodies, of which some
have properties the aggregate
of which is mind;
other, not.

65 or 4. Logic

Which conception is correct
belongs not to the design
of this work to inquire.
Sole reason for mentioning
it, fear lest a reader
should suppose that
truth as to matters
belonging to posology
depends upon this.

66 or 5. Logic

Somatology or somatics
is the branch of art &
science having for subject
matters body & its
properties.

67 6. Logic

Psychology, mind and
its properties.

68 or 7. Logic

Long ago some thinking
man found a convenience
in considering
one property apart from
the rest thus abstracting
it.

69 or 8. Logic

Thence division of somatology
into 1. abstract
2, non abstract or say concrete.

9.
The property


---page break---

70 or 9. Logic

The property thus abstracted
being quantity,
modifications of it noted
were
1. form (shaper or figure)
2. number: each could
be considered without
the other.

71 10 Logic
Illusion
dissipated

Per some, form is, in
some of its modifications,
a being as incapable
of existence as body is.

72 11. Logic
Illusion

Hence per Euclid a
point is &c — so a line is
a surface is — as well
as a solid is &c.

73 12. Logic
Illusion

Clouded by this misconception
this part
of the field.

74 13. Logic
Illusion

Question controverted
has form a separate
existence? Yes or No.

75 14 Logic
Illusion

Per Montesquieu,
Yes. applied to radii
of a circle.

Opponents who
— their motives

76 or 1.

Hostile to this improvement
will be all whose
self-satisfaction and reputation
rested upon
the science in its
present state.

77 or 2. Opponents

So, to the improver.

78 or 3 Opponents

So, in their instance
will have place the
desire and endeavour
to make him suffer.

79 or 4 Opponents

Regrettible this disposition,
but unpreventible,
being rooted in
man's nature: sole
practicable object of
endeavour, the minimizing
it; which
the thus holding it
up to view contributes
to.

80 or 4. Opponents
Juris

Expected should consequently
be of every
lawyer aversion to
extirpation of Judge-
made laws.

81 5. Opponents
Theological

So, in theology which
teaches how to comprehend
what it acknowledges
to be incomprehensible.

82 6. Opponents

Accordingly proportioned
to the comparative
inaptitude of the present
course of language-
learning will be the
present teacher's
enmity to improvement
and the improver
of posology.

83 or 7. Opponents

Though not so strong
as in the case of lawyers
and priests and poets —
genus irritabile valum.

Opponents — Motives

84 Posologistical

Thus have English Mathematicians
been
hostile to the diminution
of time and trouble
produced in France by
the substitution of
algebra to geometry.

85 or 9. Opponents
Posogistical

To divers learned societies
many are the
years of hard labour
it will cost, ere
they are convinced
of the uselessness of
the present practice.

86 or 10. Opponents
Posologistical

This cost, logic if
well applied would
have saved them.
