meptum semper existimavi. At vero cum caeterarum
linearum curvarum Flementa, prout à Veteribustra
dita atque a Recentioribus explicata sant, dilicentius
considerassem, orieinem earum e solido peti atque inde
ipsas in planum transferri naturali ordini, qui in Mla-
thematicis quam maxime observandus est, omnino
contrarium duxi; quemadmodum e demonstrationes
in isdem Flementis propositas, multis in locis eadem
de causa e propter varias rationum compositiones,
quibus saepeinnicuntur, subobscuras, ac lonca Proposi-
tionum serie Lectoribus taedio memoriaeque oneri esse

curvarum secundi seneris ulieriorum que oraduum or-
tus, natura proprietas, atque essentia, cum exacta spe-
