I do not think it would possible to describe pitch upon any
other situation as on speech which at the same time that it
might be described by general words , would be
capable like this of being by some such material
representation as in every individual instance
of the set would come under the verbal description
The General Image I have all along born in mind
may be depictured in this the following manner
Fig 3d
Fig. 4
Suppose D.C. in the first Figure to be a body or
portion of space of any kind or figure
in whose upper surface another body
of any kind or figure B A is either at rest or
Now moving along in a direction different from that of
the line A.B. I say so long as a Man has gotten

Pocket, or the remainder of the heap of corn & so on,

[which circumstance is abstracted in the picture in question]
in these & any
other number of
individual examples
that might be
assigned.
But the relation of place between the body moved &
that at rest being after the entire dissolution of contact
will I believe be found to be equally referable in every such example to the
general Idea
But now suppose it were the attempt that was to be thus depictured — suppose in the instance of the cup & there being 3 cups The attempt is performed begun as soon as some overt act is performed that can be referable to the intention
