The expression in Euclid is "each to each".
This is inadequate: for the import he annexes
to it, is not conformable to any import the
it can be shewn to to hear
on any other occasion.
The two sides of the one triangle, says
Euclid, I suppose to be equal to two sides
of the other triangle each to each. The real
eachmeaning is, each to it's correspondent one:
namely that one side of the one triangle
is equal to that side of the other triangle
that corresponds with it in some particular and the arrangement
he has for the purpose given the parts sides
of [the each triangle two triangles] among themselves: given
I say in his own kind, tho' not announced
he should have to have made
his meaning clear.
