Excerpt from Geometrical Amusements, or a Course of Lessons, in Construction and Analysis, Vol. 1: Containing a General Problem and Solution, With Its Applicaiton, to a Series of Geometrical Inquiries; To Which Is Added, a Great Variety of Problems, for Subsequent Exercises

The First Part of the Amusements, or Course of Lessons, here presented to the Disciples of Euclid, is intended, principally, to familiarize a Class of Problems, in themselves, extremely beautiful; and interesting to Geometricians, from the Simplicity, Elegance, and, comparatively, unlimited Range, of which they are susceptible; in their Application to the Resolution of other Geometrical Researches.

As the Object, of this trifling Production, is, necessarily, limited, and the Plan, for its Completion, obvious; few words will be requisite, as explanatory of either.

Introductory to the Course, We have given a General Problem, as a Basis, to which The three books are referable, for Solution.

The Subsidiary, general Problems, or Auxiliaries, are ranked in Book First, preceding the Problems immediately dependent.

The Examples, in Book I. and II., might have been widely extended: but, those which we have exhibited, appear sufficient in point of Number and Diversity, for the intended Illustration.
