Posology — Rudiments

1
The contrivance in
Euclids first proposition.
— namely a Problem — how to construct
an equilateral triangle
mode of designating and
exhibiting it.

2
Here it follows expressed
in the asi
and inferential or
method.

3
Take any portion of
matter exhibiting a rectilinear figure
for instance a small
twig of a tree
the straitest you can
find: consider it as if it were
perfectly strait.

4
Describe two circles with
it.

5
Circle the first is described
by keeping the twig fixt
at one of the its ends as
points: which with the
exception of the
point at that end, the rest
of the twig is moved round
till it comes back into the
a position exactly the same
as that which it occupied
before it began to move.

6
If the twig has any
coloring matter on
that part of its surface
which touches the ground
and this matter is sufficiently
copious and
adheres to leave a
mark over the whole of
the surface to which it
has applied itself, the
sort of figure
called a circle will
be the result

7
The line by which the
figure is bounded at all
points over which the moving
end of the twig has passed is the circumferential line: — in one word, the circumference.
