a_o supplement_n to_o a_o late_a treatise_n call_v a_o essay_n for_o the_o discovery_n of_o some_o new_a geometrical_a problem_n concern_v angular_a section_n resolve_v what_o be_v there_o

aequation_n to_o sect_n any_o angle_n or_o arch_n of_o a_o circle_n into_o 3.5.7_o or_o any_o other_o uneven_a number_n of_o equal_a part_n by_o g.k._n whereas_o it_o be_v suppose_v in_o the_o

upon_o a_o straight_a line_n ●oming_v from_o the_o centre_n of_o those_o concentric_a arch_n have_v equal_a cord_n though_o not_o equal_a arch_n upon_o further_a consideration_n it_o be_v find_v that_o however_o seem_o such_o a_o line_n may_v appear_v to_o be_v straight_o in_o many_o case_n as_o when_o the_o radius_fw-la be_v short_a or_o the_o angle_n very_o acute_a yet_o in_o no_o case_n be_v such_o a_o line_n mathematical_o straight_o but_o be_v a_o regular_a curve_v and_o can_v be_v as_o regular_o draw_v and_o by_o as_o true_a geometrical_a art_n as_o any_o parabola_fw-la or_o

the_o way_n of_o draw_v the_o say_v curve_v be_v this_o let_v a_o short_a cross-rule_n be_v set_v at_o right_a angle_n with_o another_o long_a rule_n and_o let_v the_o length_n of_o the_o cross_a

your_o angle_n which_o as_o in_o the_o follow_a figure_n let_v be_v 3_o inch_n and_o let_v the_o just_a half_n of_o the_o cross-rule_n be_v on_o the_o left_a side_n of_o the_o long_a rule_n and_o let_v a_o small_a brass_n or_o steel-pin_n be_v fix_v on_o the_o right_a end_n of_o the_o say_v cross_a rule_n that_o as_o the_o rule_n be_v move_v may_v make_v a_o impression_n on_o the_o paper_n

while_o the_o left_a side_n of_o the_o long_a rule_n run_v through_o the_o centre_n a_o the_o left_a end_n of_o the_o cross_a rule_n shall_v describe_v a_o part_n of_o another_o curve_v meet_v at_o
