Ch or § Conjectural History

2

17 or 1 Conjectl
Histy.
Analytic

genesis

Originative material
archetype of the abstract
ideas expressed
by Geometry, a pair
of compasses — an instrument
for measuring distances.

First rude mode of
constructing them two
twigs, the two sides of
them put the one over
the other, and fastened
together by a stronger
twig drawn through them
round which they play

18 or 2 Analytic
genesis

This original pair
of compasses would approach
more and more
towards those formed by
modern art, as the
twigs were by scission
or friction reduced
more and more
to the form of those
parallellipedons called
buttons

☞ Distinguish Alegomorphics
into 1. Unscientific or ordinary
viz. arithmetic applied to accounting
2. Scientific viz.
Algebraic Fluxions &c

eggs of snakes, and
tortoises, perhaps those
of some birds.

27 or 8 Analytic

The idea of a sphere
having been obtained by
