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.

MISCELLANEOUS EXERCISES. 239 persetive are collinear; and the line of collinearity bisects FG at right angles. 4~. The lines AG, CG, BF, DF are tangential to a circle concentric with the circumcircle. 5~. If X, Y, Z, W be the feet of perpendiculars from E on the sides of ABCD, E is the mean centre of X, Y, Z, W. 6~. The sides of the quadrilateral XYZW are tangential to a circle concentric with the circumcircle. 52-55. If R, R' be the symmedan points of the triangles ABC, ADC; S, S' of the triangles BCD, DAB; then1~. The quadrilaterals ABCD, S'RSR', have a common harmonic triangle. 2~. The four lines RS, S'R', AD, BC, are concurrent. 3~. If E' be the pole of AC; E" of BD, the three pairs of points A, C; S', S; E, E", form an involution of which E, E" are the double points. 4~. If through E a parallel to its polar be drawn, meeting the four concurrent lines AD, S'R', RS, BC in the points A, A, v, p, the four intercepts Au, rE, EY, vp are equal; and a similar property holds for the intercepts on the parallel made by the lines AB, S'R, R'S, CD. 56. If two triangles, formed by two triads of corresponding points of three figures, F1, F2, F3, directly similar, be in perspective, the locus of their centre of perspective is the circle of similitude of F1, F2, F3. (TARRY.) 57. If the symmedian lines AK, BK, CK, &c., of a harmonic polygon of an odd number of sides, be produced to meet the circumcircle again in the points A', B', C', &c., these points form the vertices of another harmonic polygon-; and these two polygons are co-symmedian, and have the same Brocard angles, Brocard points, Lemoine circles, cosine circles, &c. 58. If three similar isosceles triangles BEA', CAB', ABC' be described on the sides of a triangle ABC, prove that the axis of perspective of the triangles ABC, A'B'C' is perpendicular to the line joining their centre of perspective to the circumcentre of ABC. (M'CAY.) 59. In the same, if perpendiculars be let fall from A, B, C on B'C', C'A', A'B', prove that their point of concurrence is col
