Excerpt from The New American Order of Arithmetic: Containing the Primordial Series of Increase and Decrease; With an Authentic, Plain, and Comprehensive Exposition of the Southetical Formation and Relations of Numbers, Variously Exemplified

But land, or water, air, light, heat, sound, time, the planets, comets, occupying or passing through space, are subjects of measure or number. Time, however, is not a substantive quantity, and it must therefore cease With the motion of bodies by which it is measured.

Every atom, and every organized body in the universe, counts one, a unit; a grain of sand, a rose, a house, the state, a star, the universe itself is one.

Every unit occupies a space from which it excludes all other units; therefore order and extension are essential to numbers.
