Posology.
Conjectural History
1. Morphoscopic
Euclid a treatise on
form — regarding quantity
— learning — his the
first work extant
though the science
practised long before
him.
2. Morph.
Land cultivation
must have preceded
measurement.
3. Alegomorphics
Decimal mode derived
from the number
of fingers.
4. Aleg.
Six-fingered persons
have been known —
they would have
adopted the duodecimal
mode.
5. Aleg.
Extraordinary that designation
by single figures
should have stopped
at 9 — 10 being the
number of the fingers.
6. Logic
Morph.
Our notions of posology
derived from our senses,
principally sight and
feeling.
7 Logic
Morph
But tho' feeling not commonly
used in studying
posology, blind have
learnt & taught it.
8. Logic
Morph.
Posological ideas not
distinguished from physical
ideas — though
distinguished from other
physical ideas.
---page break---
9 Logic
Morph
Pair of compasses
how originally made
10. Morph.
Two sources of ideas of
geometrical figures —
Observation & Formation
11. Morph.
Archetypes by which
the idea of a sphere
may have been suggested.
12. Aleg.
Morph.
Alegomorphics simpler
and easier
than Morphoscopics
13 Logic
Aleg.
In Alegomorphics
abbreviation the
instrument employed.
14 Logic
Aleg.
Here then the history
the course taken
is plain and
obvious — Somebody
thought of employing
these marks
for abbreviation —
Arabic numerals
more apt than
Roman.

15 or 1. Morph.
Objects of sense
most easily grasped
by the mind.
16 or 2. Morph.
Origin of Trigonometry.
