Posology.

Morphoscopics
Ch. or §. Genesis analytic
and synthetic

1

1.
Modes of genesis
or say formation
of plain figures
two — 1. the analytic
— 2. the synthetic.

2
By the analytic is
employed a mass
of really-existing
matter natural or
artificial — by a flat
or say plain instrument,
it is supposed
to be divided
into two parts
and by each part
is this provided a
new surface.

3.
Name of the solid
thus cut, the
of the plain cutting
it, the — this
term is in use —
of the parts thus
formed the segments
— this term is also in use.

4.
These two segments
will with reference
to each other be either
1, equal — or 2. unequal.
If unequal, one will be
the lesser — the other
the greater.

5.
Exemplified are
some sorts of these
solids by bodies
produced by nature
without the intervention
of art —
call them naturally-
existing solids —
others not without
such intervention: call
them artificially-
produced solids.

6.
Completely regularly
in number altogether
infinite are
capable of having
place the artificially-
produced solids:
very few the naturally-
existing: only
among saline crystallizations
are examples
to be found:
namely the cubical
crystals of common
salt and the parallelopipedon
crystals of some
other salt or salts.

7.
Idea of a surface
has produced by
the section of the
solid — Thus are
formed the abstract
ideas of the first order.

8.
Abstraction is
drawing-off.

9.
In the surface you
consider a line only.
Formed thus,
abstract idea of
the 2d order.

10
Surface is either
1. Single-line-bounded
or 2. Many-line-bounded.

11.
If single-line bounded
that line is
curve: and that
curve a recurrent
curve.

12.
Curves recurrent
are 1. Circles — 2.
Cycloids.

13.
At the last step
comes an abstract
idea of the 3d order:
that of a point —
mathematical or say
posological.

14
Of one point you
cannot obtain the
impression without
the impression of
another: one idea
you care for by the
ends more than two
are produced impressions
of lines
more than one.
