was necessary to give to the Substances some
measurable form. The Substances mixed have
of a certain form namely they were of the form
of the inside of the Vessel which enclosed them.

represented in
a Real entity The diminution was discerned by the rising
of the fluid Stopple. The ready way then that

Object
of the diminution was ascertained was described by
the proportion which the number of gradations the
substance occupied before admixture on there
they occupied after.
This then is one of the this of Geometry
Geometrical
Proportion the measuring the respirability of the Air
this may not as yet have been put in practice
but no doubt it soon will if it is found
that the respirability can be increased by these
means. Some may perhaps say here that
they have need to think that Geometrical
operations admited of as doubt. grant it but all
that Geometry does here is the measuring the
diminution of the mixtures. whether that diminution
is proportionable to respirability depends on, experiments
producing probability but not yet certainty,
