Of these same of effectuation called in English Postulates
or Petitions, (a) Euclid in his Elements gives three, and no more
than three. In the word of Stone's translation of Euclid In the in which he exhibits them they are these
1 Postulate. The Part Gra that a right line may be drawn from any one
point to another point.
2. Postulate the second. That a finite right llne may be continued
directly forward.
3. Postulate the third. That a circle may be described from
centre to any distance
After this string this short string of postulations, comes one
four times as long of axioms "Con as Axioms" that are
stated in Stones translation) 12 in number.
Note, that in the natural order of things of
axiom should have come from. Not St NAture and not
Hence Nature when,but all animated Nature is passive,
before it is in any direction or manner active: We can see
many things before we are before when we can do any thing:
A child just born has some perception of surrounding objects, before
it can do any thing to help itself.
Alloy As to the Postulates, altogether incomplete as
well as indistinct run in this occasion must his viewsview of the
subject be confessed to be: But, of this observation, Sir
Let in c On the present occasion, for the present purpose,
let us take in hand his circle.
He speaks as if, for at the impression and
correspondent , to with which the denomination
The word circle:, this was but this one way name,
the making use of a line right line with one end the point at of it fixt
which every other part is turning round, are thus producing the surface
which has for its boundary line the recurrent line called a circumference
<note>marginal note textBut the truth is that
for the production of the
same surface of the
same dimensions in the
one case as in the other
there are two different ways, correspondent to the for one another: both of them in use to be unged by Geometricians. And how come in 1 ing belongs to the
the modes of products. For applied to the subject matter of Posology namely analysis or say position and Synthesis []</note>
