SynopsisExcerpt from Elements of the Differential and Integral Calculus: By a New Method, Founded on the True System of Sir Isaac Newton, Without the Use of Infinitesimals or Limits The only original birth-place Of the fundamental idea of quantity which forms the true germ Of the calculus, was in the mind of the immortal Newton. Starting with this idea, the results of the calculus follow logically and directly through the beaten track of mathematical thought, with that clearness of evidence which has ever been the boast of mathematics, and which leaves neither doubt nor distrust in the mind of the student.

He has not risen, by easy and gradual steps, from a lower to a higher, purer and more beautiful region of scientific truth. On the contrary, he is painfully impressed with the conviction, that the continuity of the science has been broken, and its unity destroyed, by the influx of principles which are as unintelligible as they are novel. He finds himself surrounded by enigmas and obscurities, which only serve to perplex his understanding and darken his aspirations after knowledge." He finds himself required to ignore the principles and axioms that have hitherto guided his studies and sustained his convictions, and to receive in their stead a set of notions that are utterly repugnant to all his preconceived ideas of truth.
