§ 3.

Nie. I lay before you The Elementary Geometry of the Right Line and Circle by W. A., D.D., formerly Fellow of Trinity College, Dublin, published in 1875.

Min. I have gone through the subject of 'direction' so minutely in reviewing Mr. Wilson's book, that I need not discuss with you any points in which your client essentially agrees with him. We may, I think, pass over the subject of the Right Line altogether?

Nie. Yes.

Min. And as to Angles and Right Angles, I see no novelty in Dr. Willock's book, except that he defines an Angle as 'the divergence of two directions,' which is virtually the same as Euclid's Definition.

Nie. That I think is all.
