And precisely because this internal intuition presents to us no shape or form, we endeavour to supply this want by analogies, and represent the course of time by a line progressing to infinity, the content of which constitutes a series which is only of one dimension; and we conclude from the properties of this line as to all the properties of time, with this single exception, that the parts of the line are coexistent, whilst those of time are successive. But, at the same time, it marks out and defines both the external boundaries and the internal structure of this science. Time is therefore given a priorI. In it alone is all reality of phenomena possible. Potential $500,000 with only $25 investment!
