1. Fiction is
anticonceptual
Bad effect produced at
first start — the result
of fiction — obscurity
and misconception
2. Fiction is
anticonceptual
At the commencement
analytic preferred to
synthetic course — at
proper time synthetic
will be employed:
realities will form the
beginning — the works
of nature preferred.
3. Fiction is
anticoncept.
Among mathematicians
two sects — materialists

Montesquieu an immaterialist
— Locke a
materialist.
5. Fiction is

6. Fiction is
anticoncept.
In many branches of
art & science synthetic
and analytic
mode employed: generally
the synthetic
the best mode for a
learner — posology an
exception — In Botany
for example single
plants more interesting
and comprehensible
to beginners than
classes.
7. Logic
Fiction is
anticoncept
Per Bolingbroke a
man must mount on
Metaphysics and
History to survey Government

the word Geometry
is a clue.

particular histories
for its support — ours
to be deduced and
conjectured: principal
support the word
Geometry.
15. History
Supposed origin of
Geometry or Posology.

all other figures — derived
