Euclid
Superseded the page, but consoultable
Note how an impropriety of expression which Euclid
has fallen which as far as I can learn no more as
yet brought to view, this is, in the disposition of the sort of figure in
question, the speaking not of its sides but of its angles: an equilateral
trilateral figure is what he should have called it. not an
equilateral triangle, or say triangular figure. In other words, it
at by the masses of its sides that is what he should have called
it by - not the names of its angles.
The origin of the impropriety, and the imness that
re for it in the point of the ideas planted made to appear in his own
other minds or this. Of angles it is that he speakstrials before he
speaks of linesin: hra of lines that he should have
spoke, before he spoke of lines
speaks of lines in number and such as to comed
or say inclose, and embrace a space.
