1831. May 4 A.M.

Posology.

Morphoscopic
§. Course, Analytics &
Synthetic

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
and immaterialists
— Priestly tho'
a sincere Christian
a Materialist — Materialists
and Immaterialists
who.

4. Fiction is
anticoncept.
Montesquieu an immaterialist
— Locke a
materialist.

5. Fiction is
anticoncept.
Logic says teachers
have begun with
fictions instead of
realities.

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
& Politics
— per J. B. this applicable
to every
branch of art &
science.

8. Logic
It might have been
said of Posology —
especially Morphoscopics.

9. Logic
Bolingbroke meant
by metaphysics logic
— meatphysics obscure
and uncharacteristic

10. Fiction is
anticonceptl
Geometry or say
Morphoscoic Posology
in the first
instance presents
you with a partless
point as per
Euclid — obscure &
untrue.

11. Fiction is
anticoncept.
Out of an undeterminable
multitude of
points
he forms a
line — next we
have a surface —
next we get a reality.

12. Fiction is
anticoncept.
For learners' instruction
conception
should precede
demonstration —
Euclid inconceivable.

13. History
Now for History — that
of Posology — particularly
Morphoscopics —
a labyrinth to which
the word Geometry
is a clue.

14. History
For analogy, remember
those histories of physics
which we owe to
Chemistry — Difference
between Priestley's history
& this — his had
particular histories
for its support — ours
to be deduced and
conjectured: principal
support the word
Geometry.

15. History
Supposed origin of
Geometry or Posology.

16. History
Circle the source of
all other figures — derived
from stone &c
dropping into water.
