Morphoscopics
1. In regard to bodies, Obtaining knowledge
of dimensions not otherwise
knowable

9. Practical or say applicable uses of Form-regarding Posology or say
Unapplied quantity-learning

1. Obtaining and transmitting confirming the power of ascertaining
the dimensions of spaces and surfaces the dimensions of which could
not otherwise be obtained at all

10 14
Example — dimensions
of spoke radial inaccessible
by height or being
covered by water
See Ch. Conjectual History

10 Example. 1 By means of Trigonometry ascertaining

or by the interposition of intervening rising grounds, or
rendered inaccessible to the eye

result of structures
and arrangements of
Mechanics: these
saving time, labor
and expense of preparatory
expenditure

11. 2. By means of Mechanics pre-determining prior in the
way of anticipation the desirable without pecuniary results for the determination
