Euclid in which Algebraical Symbols are used.
1. If two triangles have two angles of the one equal
to two angles of the other each to each and one
side equal to one side viz. either tho sides adjacent
to the equal angles in each or the sides opposite to
equal angles in each the triangles are equal in
all respects.
2. If a straight line is divided into two equal parts
and also into two unequal parts the squares on
the two unequal parts are together equal to twice
the square on half the line together with twice the
square on the part between the points of section.

7. If the sides of two triangles about each of their
angles are proportionals tho triangles will be
equiangular and those angles will be equal which
are opposite to the homologous sides.
'8.' Draw a straight line perpendicular to a given
plane from a given point above it.
9. If any point is taken within a circle and from it
straight lines are drawn to the circumference and
each such line produced till the part produced is
equal to the part between the point and the circumference the extremities of these lines will all

The ancients had no other method of regulating
their course than by observing the sun and stars.
Their navigation was of consequence uncertain
and timid. They durst seldom quit sight of land,
but crept along the coast, exposed to all the
dangers and retarded by all the obstructions
unavoidable in holding such an awkward course.
An incredible length of time was requisite for
performing voyages which are now finished in a
short space. Even in the mildest climates and
in seas the least tempestuous, it was only during
the summer months that the ancients ventured out
of their harbours. The remainder of the year was

8. P u t into French—
William ordered a thousand horsemen to advance and to flee immediately. The sight of this
pretended rout caused the Saxons to lose their
coolness,: all ran to the pursuit, their axes hanging
from their necks. At a certain point, a body of
troops, designedly posted, joined the fugitives, who
turned, and the English surprised in their disorder
were assailed on all sides by blows of lance and
sword, from which they could hot defend themselves, having both hands occupied in wielding
their huge axes. When they had lost their ranks
the barriers of the redoubts were broken down :
horsemen and footmen made their way i n : but
the fight was still lively, pell-mell, body to body.

EXAMINATION PAPERS,
Clodio : quippo; si il le obvius ei futurus omnino
non erat. Deindo (non enim video, cur non
meum qnoque agam negotium,) scitis, iudices,
fuisse, qui in hac rogationo suadenda dicerent,
Milouis raanu caedem esse factam, consilio vero
maioris alicuius. Mo videlicet latronem ac sicarium abiccti homines et perditi describebant.
lacent suis testibus ii, qui Clodium negant eo die
Romam, nisi de Cyro audisset, fuisse rediturum.
Respiravi, liberatus sum, non vereor, ne, quod ne
suspicari quidem potuerim, videar id cogitasse.
Nunc persequar cetera.
Nam occurrit illud:
igitur ne Clodius quidem de insidiis cogitavit,
quoniam fuit in Albano mansurus, siquidem
exiturus ad caedem e villa non fuisset. Video
enim, ilium, qui dicitur do Cyri morte riuntiasse,
non id nuntiasse, sed Milonem appropinquare.
Nam quid de Cyro nuntiaret, quem Clodius Roma
proficiscens reliquerat morientem ? Una fui, testamentum simul obsignavi cum Clodio: testamentum autem palam fecerat, et ilium heredem
et me scripserat. Quem pridie hora tertia animam
efHantem reliquisset, eum mortuum, postridie
hora decima denique ei nuntiabatur ? Age, sit
ita factum : quae caussa, cur Romam properaret ?
cur in noctem se coniiceret ? Quid afferebat
festinationis, quod heres erat ?

esset, quid tandem erat, quod ea nocte consequi
posset, amitteret autem, si postridie mane Romam
venisset ?
