We may here note the fact that the level surfaces which are above the seashores are divisible into two main groups those which have been recently lifted above the sea level, composed of materials laid down in the shallows next the shore, and which have not yet shared in mountain-building disturbances, and those which have been slightly tilted in the manner before indicated in the case of the plains which border the Rocky Mountains on the east.
By reason of its extension each bit of matter is divisible into parts, and each part is a numerically distinct entity from every other such part. Accordingly it would seem that every material entity is not really one entity. It is an essential multiplicity of entities.
They are divisible into two kinds, into intellectually defective, and into morally defective traits; the former relating to the understanding, the latter to the heart.
Examined more closely, images appear to us to be divisible into as many kinds as sensations: visual images correspond to visual sensations, tactile to tactile, and so on with all the senses.
Yet I admit that this motive does influence you, so far as you prefer those rapid and ephemeral writings to slow and enduring writings books, properly so called. For all books are divisible into two classes, the books of the hour, and the books of all time. Mark this distinction it is not one of quality only.

The character of their political institutions was determined by the fundamental laws respecting property. The laws rendered estates divisible among sons and daughters. The right of primogeniture, at first limited and curtailed, was afterwards abolished. The property was all freehold.
If we can comprehend any time that is divisible into no parts at all, or perhaps into the minutest parts of moments, this alone let us call present; yet this speeds so hurriedly from the future to the past that it does not endure even for a little space. If it has duration, it is divided into a past and a future; but the present has no duration. "Where, then, is the time that we may call long?
On the other hand, fines were to be assessed according to local custom; compurgation was retained for unimportant cases and inheritances were to remain divisible among all heirs male. The ordinance that contains these dispositions is no parliamentary statute, but seems to have been drawn up by the King in council, March 24, 1284.
Some of the things which constitute the body are not divisible at all, like soul and intellect. Every power which extends throughout a body is finite, because all body is finite. None of the kinds of change mentioned in 4 is continuous except motion of translation; and of this only circular motion. Motion of translation is the first by nature of the motions.
