Seite 96 - AB— 13 ; hence the ratio of the lines is that of 13 to 5. If the line CD were taken for unity, the line AB would be y ; if AB were taken for unity, CD would be T%.
Seite 96 - Continue this process, till a remainder occur, which is contained exactly a certain number of times in the preceding one. Then this last remainder will be the common measure of the proposed lines ; and regarding it as unity, we shall easily find the values of the preceding remainders ; and at last, those of the two proposed lines, and hence their ratio in numbers. Suppose, for instance, we find GB to be contained exactly twice in FD ; BG will be the common measure of the two proposed lines. Put BG...
Seite 20 - The language contains a constant succession of short and rapid references to what has been proved already ; and it is justly assumed that each of these brief movements helps the reasoner forwards in a course of infallible certainty and security. Each of these hasty glances must possess the clearness of intuitive evidence, and the certainty of mature reflection; and yet must leave the reasoner's mind entirely free to turn instantly to the next point of his progress.
Seite 77 - Any two sides of a triangle are together greater than the third side. Let ABC be a triangle ; any two sides of it together are greater than the third side, viz., the sides BA, AC, greater than the side BC ; and AB, BC, greater than AC , and BC, CA, greater than AB. Produce BA to the point D, and make AD equal to AC ; and join DC.

From whence this important consequence is derived, that the Moon's mean motion and the greatest quantities of the several equations, will remain unchanged, unless disturbed by the intervention of some foreign or accidental cause These tracts are inscribed to the Karl of Maccleslield, President of the Royal Society.
