ulto II Morphoscopics § Analytic Syllabi 3. Analytic and synthetic compared
2 3
31 Difference between the two modes: in the synthetic, you can take measures of the figure; in the analytic, not.
31. Between the analytic or say resolution or decomposition mode and order of production or say generation, and the synthetic, or say or composition there is this difference there are these differences One difference is this: namely: that in and by the synthetic mode and that above you can ta obtain and exhibit the measure of them in and by the analytic mode you may produce them; but neither it is in and by the analytic mode that you produce them, you do not an by so doing, exhibit the measure of them.
32 Take for a ball globe or sphere By cutting it by a plane through the center, you obtain two circular surfaces but you can not way to measure them
32. Take for example, the figure called a circle. To produce it in the way of analysis or say decomposition, you must employ and take in hand a ball — in Latin sprung language a globe, in Greek sprung language, a sphere, and proceed in the manner that will be mentioned presently

33. True it is that the idea of a circle may be obtained, by consideration had of a surface: namely of the surface of any mass of matter in a liquid form, no inclosed all round in a solid receptacle. But — in the first place, this is not an exactly flat — an exactly right-lined surface: for the surface is a portion of the earth's surface, and the earth's surface is in every part a portion of a recurrent curve — that is to say an oblate spheroid: in the next place, though you obtain and if you are near a piece of water continually are obtaining the idea of a circle, namely through by means of the medium of the correspondent impression, as where you it happen to you to see a nut falling into it, is to yourself throw a stone into it, yet nor in that case can you say exactly where the circle ends nor can you thereby keep any such circular form within your reach reach, for the purpose of demonstration or application in unapplied posology morphoscopics, or for any mechanical purpose or in applied actuality applied to morphoscopics ology.
