Doubtless every essential discovery is able to stand by itself; in what would an inventor profit, for example, by raising himself to the level of the artist? ""For the theorem lucidity suffices; truth issues naked from the bottom of a well.""This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
