quotations from the letters which follow occur in Alexandre Koyre's very
helpful book, _From the Closed World to the Infinite Universe_
(Baltimore, 1957), pp. 114, 122-123, but the complete and original texts
can be consulted in Descartes, _Correspondance avec Arnaud et Morus_,
ed. G. Lewis (Paris, 1953).]
[Footnote 5: This passage occurs at the beginning of "The Easie, True,
and Genuine Notion, And consistent Explication Of the Nature of a
Spirit," a free translation of _Enchiridion Metaphysicum_, I. 27-28, by
John Collins which he included in Joseph Glanvil's _Saducismus
Triumphatus_ (London, 1681). I quote from the text as given in
_Philosophical Writings of Henry More_, ed. F. I. MacKinnon (New York,
1925), p. 183.]

Calkins and included in John Tull Baker, _An Historical and Critical
Examination of English Space and Time Theories_ . . . (Bronxville, N.Y.,
1930), p. 12. For the original, cf. _Opera Omnia_, II. 1, p. 167.]
