A sequel to the first six books of the Elements of Euclid, containing an easy introduction to modern geometry, with numerous examples. By John Casey.

BOOK VI. 151 31. If a variable line meet four fixed lines in points whose anharmonic ratio is constant, it cuts these four lines homographically. 32. Given the I CD to the diameter AB of a semicircle, it is required to draw through A a chord, cutting CD in E and the semicircle in F, such that the ratio of CE: EF may be given. 33. Draw in the last construction the line AEF so that the quadrilateral CEFB may be a maximum. 34. The O described through the centres of the three escribed Os of a plane A, and the circumscribed ( of the same A, will have the centre of the inscribed (D of the A for one of their centres of similitude. 35. The Os on the diagonals of a complete quadrilateral cut orthogonally the 0 described about the A formed by the three diagonals. 36. When the three Is from the vertices of one A on the sides of another are concurrent, the three corresponding Is from the vertices of the latter, on the sides of the former, are concurrent. 37. If a 0 be inscribed in a quadrant of a 0; and a second 0 be described touching the O, the quadrant, and radius of quadrant; and a _ be let fall from the centre of the second O on the line passing through the centres of the first 0 and of the quadrant; then the A whose angular points are the foot of the I, the centre of the quadrant, and the centre of the second 0, has its sides in arithmetical progression. 38. In the last Proposition, the Is let fall from the centre of the second 0 on the radii of the quadrants are in the ratio of 1: 7. 39. When three Os of a coaxal system touch the three sides of a A at three points, which are either collinear or concurrently connectant with the opposite vertices, their three centres form., with those of the three Os of the system which pass through the vertices of the A, a system of six points in involution. 40. If two Os be so placed that a quadrilateral may be inscribed in one and circumscribed to the other, the diagonals of the quadrilateral intersect in one of the limiting points, 41. If from a fixed point Is be let fall on two conjugate rays of a pencil in involution, the feet of the I s are collinear with a fixed point. 42. MIQUEL's THEOREM.-If the five sides of any pentagon ABCDE be produced, forming five As external to the pentagon,
