To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The reason whence the CONCLUSIONS concerning all circles are general, is upon the very principle of Cause and Effect ; for I know by experience, that upon the first study of Mathematical science, I found much difficulty in a phi- losophical objection I could not easily answer ; namely ; that the relations of the quantities in one figure did not seem necessarily applicable to all of a like kind ; until I perceived that the affections of all, were INVOLVED in one of each kind; as there was nothin...g to occasion a differ- ence amidst their relations. Now then let the data be the same, and the IMPULSE given not only be like, but the BODY given be like; and I conceive that every man, and every child, would expect, upon a second trial, that the same body would move in the same manner as before. The inference would be drawn from the mind perceiving, (in the first instance, ) that no motion would have taken place except from the conjunction of 93 the body with the impulsive force ; and in the second case would add to the memory of this Effect, the reasoning, that there being nothing else to make a difference, a like Effect would again take place.
