For information commences with the senses; but the whole business terminates in works. .. .T he chief cause of failure in work (especially after natures have been diligently investigated) is the ill determination and measurement of the forces and actions of bodies. Now the forces and actions of bodies are circumscribed and measured, either by distances of space, or by moments of time, or by concentration of quantity, or by predominance of virtue ;and unless these four things have been well and carefully weighed, we shall have sciences, fair perhaps in theory, but in practice inefficient. The four instances which are useful in this point of view I class under one head as Mathematical Instances and Instances of Measurement A ovum Organum, Lib. ii, A ph. xliv SECOND EDITION LONDON KEGAN PAUL, TRENCH, CO.

Book Description:
The mathematician William Kingdon Clifford (1845-79) intended this work to be intelligible to non-specialists. Unfinished at his death, the book was completed by Karl Pearson and published in 1885. It explores five fundamental areas of mathematics - number, space, quantity, position and motion - delivering several original results along the way.
