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.

GENERAL THEORY OF ASSOCIATED FIGURES. 227 is the circle of similitude. Join A,3. This will meet Z in I3, which will be the invariable point corresponding to the next side, AA4, of the Tarry's line. Join f'I3, and produce to meet the line A3A4, making with QA3 an angle equal to o in A4. We construct in the same manner A4A,, AA,, &c. Tarry's line, it is obvious, may be continued in the opposite sense, AAA,. Cor.-If one side of a Tarry's line and its Brocard points be given, it may be constructed. Prop 8.-If the Brocard angles w, o' of a Tarry's line be equal, the points Al, A2.. A, form the vertices of a harmonic polygon. Dem.-From the invariable points Ii, I2, &c., let fall perpendiculars IC,, I2C2, &c., on the lines AA2, A2,A, &c. Then, since these perpendiculars are homologous lines of F,, F., they meet on Z. Let 0 be their point of intersection. Now, since co = o', the triangle
