But among the advantages which may be expected from a comparison of the early state of these sciences, with their present extension and improvement, one of the most consider able is, that it will lead to, the full, discovery of the origin of many theories and practices, which though, at first, defective and insufli cient, have given birth to others more correct and commodious in their application. Such, for example, has been the case of the Flux~ iomal and Differential Calculi, which may be traced through the methods of Slusius, Bar row, and the Indivisibles of Cavallerius, to their present improved form.
