Per some, form
is, in some of its
modifications, a
being as capable
of existence as body is

A notion hitherto prevalent among the cultivators of the
field of posology is — that form, in certain of its modifications,
is a being existing by itself or at least capable of existing just as a body is a being existing
by itself

or 11
Hence, per Euclid
a point is, &c, so
a line is — a surface
is — as well as a
solid is.

On this supposition accordingly is every doctrine contained in
the work stiled the Elements of Geometry the work of Euclid, the
father of the that art and science grounded; for a line is (he says) so and so
a surface is (he says) so and so — [a solid is (he says) so and so]

or 12
Clouded by this
misconception this
part of the field.

By this mode of consideration and discourse, signal has
been the obscurity shed over this whole this part of the metaphorical field: it has been
as it were under in a cloud

or 13
Subjectmatter of
controversy
or 13
Question controverted
has form a separate
existence? yes or no?

Among the So true is this that whether what belongs to
quantity has or has not an existence independent of the
existence of body has among the learned been a subjectmatter of
controversy and the separate and independent existence of divers divers
modifications of form has been seriously maintained

or 14
Per Montesquieu, Yes:
applied to radii of
a circle

Thus Montesquieu, as if (says he) before a circle
was in existence its radii were not all of them
equal each to every other.
