ABSTRACT

SINCE the Thread of my Discourse has led me, for the fake of Mathematical Hypotheses, to treat of the more common Affections of Magnitude; and since I have already spoke something (little indeed considering the Dignity of the Subject, but enough for our Design) concerning some Things which first offer themselves, viz. the Termination, Extension, Composition, and Divisbility of Magnitude; it now follows, that I should touch upon what remains, viz. its Occupation of Space, Determinate Position, Mobility, Mensurability, Proportion, and whatsoever else occurs from whence Mathematicians do, or lawfully may, draw Hypotheses suited to their Ratiocinations.
