Among the mathematicians
two sects — materialists
and immaterialists
— Priestly
tho' a sincere Christian
a Materialist.
Materialists begin with
things as they are —
Immaterialists form
from things as they
are not pure mathematics,
which
when contaminated
by use they call
mixed
This brings us to a sort of schism among
mathematicians: schism and the result of it two
sects call them for the present and materialists and immaterialists or call the materialists
the analysts and the
immaterialists the synthesists
and until
two more apt denominations shall have been found
the materialists and the immaterialists not but
that despair of denominations has its disadvanges
for men whom Orthodoxy Religion has rendered suspicious
and irritable when we were too apt on this
occasion as on others to take our materialists
quiet and sober as they are for Atheists and as such
fit only to be abhored and persecuted (the
hands cut off) at any rate not fit to live
Priestly though there never was a more
sincere Christian was a self confessed Materialist
but a man may be a no less zealous Church of
Englandist or Roman catholic and be nevertheless a
materialist in mathematics we materialists begin
as is seen already with things as they are im-materialists
with things as they are not not only begin
but so go on throughout prodigious is the merit
which they assume to themselves for thus confining
themselves to non entities out of this they form
a separate branch of mathematics which they distinguish
and adorn by the attribute pure purity no sooner is this
favorite branch applied to use than they fasten on it
the appellation of mixed giving us to understand
that by the mixture they regard it as sullied and debased
divested of its peculiar and transendental purity attribute
to such a degree are their imaginations heated and
their mental vision disturbed by the conceit attached
to this word purity that they insist upon it it is an article in their creed that
points without parts lines without breadth and surfaces
without depth were created in the first instance long
before the dirty things called solids were brought into existence
