Side 131 - But things which are equal to the same are equal to one another || ; therefore CA is equal to CB ; wherefore CA,
Side 25 - MAN, as the minister and interpreter of nature, does and understands as much, as his observations on the order of nature, either with regard to things or the mind, permit him, and neither knows nor is capable of more.

Side 35 - For men imagine that their reason governs words, whilst, in fact, words react upon the understanding ; and this has rendered philosophy and the sciences sophistical and inactive.
