For comparison
the proposition expressed
as per
Playfair is added.
Along with it to save recurrence to books, along
with it is given a reprint of the same proposition
<add>as exhibited</add>provided in the customary form,
as furthered in Mr Professor Playfair's Elements of that
science. To judge Whether in any, and, if in any, in what degree,
the conception of the subject is facilitated by the here
proposed mode, is a question, to the answering of which, an understanding
matured, and in other respects not ill furnished unfurnished
but by which little or no attention has happened to have
been bestowed upon this branch of sciences, will be in a particular
degree competent well adapted.

Postpone the following paragraph till after Pr.5. They presenting 5 It will, at the same time, a question, for adepts
teachers and other adepts in the science to answer to
themselves, whether in this same method, additional promptitude as well as prescience facilities may
not be found, for the prompt arranging ofto the operation of arranging geometrical ideas in
their minds, as well as for the to that of communicating
making communication of this upon occasion
to others, whether in the exp character of learners
or co adepts.
Add intimation of the extent from Playfair to shun the
of the contrivance indicating principal the 24
Manner of trying the
utility of the proposed
mode
1. Exposing the proposed
mode, keep covered the
unlettered diagram
and the ordinary mode.
2. Uncover the unlettered
diagram
3. Uncover the ordinary
mode.

Mode of making the experiment, to try the utility of the proposed
mode, so far as concerns facility of conception,-
1. Try the experiment, whether the purely verbal
mode of designation is intelligible without a diagram
For this purpose the Diagram, as given without the Letters
of reference, and the Diagram as given with the Letters of
reference, should both be covered.
2. If it be not perfectly or readily intelligible without
a diagram, uncover that diagram which has not any letters of
reference
3. If it be not unduly perfectly or readily intelligible
then, now uncover now the diagram which has the letters of
reference
