Quotation[edit]

Quotation: "These loose hints I have thrown together, in order to excite the curiosity of philosophers, and beget a suspicion at least, if not a full persuasion, that this subject is very copious," So which definition is this corresponding to? Vast in quantity or number? Profuse? Abundant? Taking place on a large scale? Although the full context isn't given, none seem to be a natural fit to the usage in this quotation.

Besides which, while there's certainly merit in having quotations from days of yore, it could be worthwhile to add a recent quotation too.
