It may be noted in this connection that since an increment with no quantum is being assumed here only for the sake of the development, it would have been more suitable to take (the unit) for that purpose, for that increment constantly recurs as a factor in the development, and the factor of one fulfills precisely the purpose of having an increment without any quantitative determinateness or alteration being posited thereby; whereas dx, burdened as it is by the false representation of a quantitative difference, and other signs such as, burdened for their part by a show of generality that is here pointless, always have the semblance and the pretension of a quantum and its powers; and the pretension, despite its being just that, brings with it the trouble of removing and omitting what is pretended.
