Analysis, in Mathematicks, a Method of folving or re- viving Marhematical Problems. See Problem.
There are two general Methods of finding Truth in Ma- thematicks ; Synthefis, and Analyfis.— Analyfis is the De- monstration, or Confidcrarion of the Confequences drawn from any_fropofition ; in which a Man proceeds, till he comes to lome known Truth, by means whereof, he may be

The Method of Analyfis confills more in the Jud"ment and readmefs of Apprehenfion, than in any particular Rules where pure Geometry is made ufe of, as it was among the Antients ; but at prefent Algebra is principally ufed on this Occanon, wh>ch furmfhes certain Rules to perform or arrive at the End propofed.

ANALOGY, a certain Relation, Proportion, or A»ree- menr, which feveral Things, in other refpecls diffcrent.'bear to each other.— Such is that between the Bull in the Hea- vens, and the Animal fo called on Earth.
The Word is Greek, 'AraAoj/a ; which the Latins ufually render by Comparand, and 'Proportioualitas : And hence, among Geometricians, Analogy is ftequently ufed for a Si- militude of Ratio's ; called alfo 'Proportion. See Propor- tion.

In Matters of Language, we fay, New Words are form'd by Analogy, i. e. new Names are given to new Things conformably to the eftablifh'd Names of other Things of the'
like Nature and Kind. See Language, and Word. .
The Difficulties and Obfcurities in a Language, are chiefly to be clear'd up by Analogy. See Etymology.
The Schoolmen define Analogy to be a Refemblance, join'd with fome Diverfiry : Its Foundation, according to them, is laid in the Proportion of feveral Things, confider'd as that Proportion proceeds upon different Considerations. See Proportion.
Thus, a found Animal, a found Food, and a found Pro- position, agreeing in this, th.it they have a common Deno- mination, but the Reafon or Quality whereon the Denomi- nation is founded, different ; are faid to have an Analogy, or to be analogous.
Accordingly, Analogous Things are defined to be fuch as have a common Name, but the Thing immediately Signi- fied by that common Name, different ; yet with fome Cor- respondence or Relation difcernible therein. See Gener il 'Term.
Philolbphers ufually diftinguifh three Kinds of Analogs, 'oiz.—oi Inequality, where the Reafon of the common De- nomination is the fame in Nature, but not in Degree or Order : In which Senfe, Animal is analogous to Man, and
Brute. Of Attribution ; where, tho the Reafon of the
common Name be the fame, there is a difference in its ha- bitude or refpeft thereto : In which Senfe, Healthy is analo- gous both to a Man, and an Exercife. Of Proportiona-
l "y i ™^-" e > tho the Reafons of the common Name do really differ, yet they bear fome proportion ro each other: In this Senfe, the Gills of Fillies are faid to be analogous to the Lungs , n terreflrial Animals: and thus, the Eye and the Understanding are faid to bear an Analevy to each orher. aJ

Analysis of finite Specious Arithmetick, Specious Arithmetics.
Analysis of Infinites, called alfo the New Analysis is particularly ufed for the Method of Fluxions, or Differen- tial Calculus. See Fluxions, and Calculus.— See alfo Infinite.
. Analysis, is alfo ufed in Chymiftry, for the decompound- ing of a mixt Body ; or the Reduflion thereof into its Prin- ciples. See Principle, Reduction, Decomposition, Body, &c.
To analyze Bodies, or refolve 'em into their component Parts, is the chief Objeft of the Art of Chymiftry. See Chymistry.

All Bodies, by a Chymical Analyfis, refolve into Water, fcatth, Salt, Sulphur, and Mercury ; tho every Body does not afford all thefe Parts, but fome more, fome lefs, accord- ing to the Kingdom they belong to. See Element— See alfo Water, Earth, Salt, cS?c.
The Analyfis of Vegetables is eafy; that of Foffils, parti- cularly Metals and Semi-metals, difficult. See Vegetable. Fossil, Metal, (gc.
Some Bodies of the Foflil Tribe confift of Particles fo ve- ry minute, and fo firmly united, that the Corpufcles thereof need lefs heat to carry them off; than to feparate 'em into their Principles : So that the Analyfis is impracticable in fuch Bodies.— Hence the difficulty of analyfing Sulphur. See Sulphur.
The Anatomical DiSTeaion of an Animal, is a kind of Analyfis. See Anatomy, and Dissection.
Analysis is alfo ufed for a kind of Syllabus, or Table of the principal Heads, or Articles of a i-ondnued Difcourfe ■ difpofed in their natural Order, and Dependency. — Analy- fes arc more fcienrifical than Alphabetical Indexes • but are lefs ufed, as being more intricate.
