ton Of this subject by discoursng upon the "Men-
suration OF Surfaces" defining and delineating
points and lines, he passed from the considera-
tion OF angles, (acute, right and obtuse) to tri-
angles (equilateral, isoscees, right angled and
scalene) their description and mensuration, up
through the bewildering intricacies of squares
paralleograms, trapezoids, trapeziums, rhom-
buses, circles, polygons, pyramids, cones etc
