OP PLACE. Plato, to define place, calls it that thing which in its own bosom receives forms and ideas ; by which metaphor he signifies matter, being (as it were) a nurse or receptacle of beings. Aristotle, that it is the ultimate superficies of the circumambient body, contiguous to that which it doth encompass.

The Greek stands ready in the workroom; the English is served. Both faces will read together.
