Pàgina 317 - ... of invention and variety of resource, they are in many cases decidedly inferior to those furnished by the latter. In these respects both his published and his manuscript writings fully confirm the accuracy of the opinion expressed by the late Professor Davies, that " a familiar acquaintance with the works on geometry -which have been published in this country during the past and present century has led to the conviction, that Mr. Swale was undoubtedly the most independent and original geometer...
Pàgina 168 - ABCD is a quadrilateral inscribed in a circle whose centre is O, and E, F are the middle points of BC, CD.
Pàgina 317 - Swale was undoubtedly the most independent and original geometer of his time. Everything he wrote was more free from the impress of the writings of others, even where the subjects are the same ; and so elementary too, that we should hardly suppose it possible for two different methods to be purposed, than I find to be the case with any other geometer except Dr. Matthew ^Stewart. Swale's geometry, in fact, was his own invention, for he was singularly unacquainted with the writings of other geometers,...
