Scope and content
91 Adelaide Road NW - Whenever he looks at a sentence in Aristotle he often finds either gross corruption or obvious interpolation. Analyses Aristotle's chapter on the infinite closely: 'This chapter I suppose to have had much sway in determining the logicians obstinate confusion between the infinite, unlimited in quantities, powers &c, and the simple infinite of magnitude'.
