Excerpt from Arithmetick in Epitome, or a Compendium of All Its Rules, Both Vulgar and Decimal: In Two Parts; To Which Are Now Added, Clear and Plain Demonstrations Deduced From the Principles of Arithmetic Itself; Without Either Reference to Euclid, or Use of Algebra Antennae-rte and Geoue'rnv are jufily looked uponas the two main pillars of the Mathematics, upon which the whole Fabric is rais'd; but in comparing them, they are too often confounded: For how great a fimilitudc foever there may be; be twixt them, in fome refpeets; yet, as their suljeets are different, fo their Principles are certainly diltinft, and each may be ac counted for without references to the other. Such Comparifons may indeed be ufeful by way of Illufiration, and give great fatif faction to thofe who have a competent knowledge in both; but conclufions from Geometrical Demonltrations are beyond the reach of the young Arithmetician; and the Theory of Lines and Diagrams, as they are commonly made ufe of, can only ferve to bewilder and confound him.
