Posology. Rudiments
Subjects of figure
are either
1. Substances — portions
of matter
2. Spaces — portions of
Spaces.
Morphi
Subject matter
Portions of Space are
no otherwise worth
considering than in
so far as they are
actually or eventually
paths of substances
or indexes serving
for the measurement
of such paths.
Morphi
Subject matter
Sole recurrent regular
Subject matter
curve solids
1. The sphere
2. The oblate spheroid
3. The prolate spheroid
Sole recurrent regular
curves.
1. The circle
2. The Ellipsis, more
or less elongated.
Circle — the physical
archetypes
1. the circles
described by the surface
of a piece of
after a stem has
dropped into it
2. Firmament — the
ment surface of
the half of an orange
or a turnip after it
has been cut in to
direction perpendicular
to that of the shortest
arcs of this prolate spheroid.

Morphoscopic
Equality — the notion
of it is best explained
by considering it as a
negative quantity, having
for its correspondent positive
mode of relation
inequality. Equality
the absence of inequality.
Two quantities are
equal when neither
is either less or greater
than the other.
The most instructive
origin of the idea of
equality is that of ideality:
any quantity is
always equal to itself
Thus it is shewn that
all the lines drawn from
the Center to the circumference
of a circle are
equal. Why? because
in the delineation of a
circle by a line, fixt
at one of its ends, it is
throughout the same line
passing successively
through all those several
portions of space.
