Extract

The object of the author in this paper was to find a new method of avoiding Euclid's assumptions in the theory of parallel lines. This he endeavours to do by proving that lines making equal angles with a given line cannot recede from one another ; but he does not effect this without the introduction of the consideration of infinitely small spaces.
