THE SQUARE OF THE CIRCLE (x) DEMONSTRATED FROM THE CUBE, RATIONAL, BY EDWARD DINGLE. PLYMOUTH: GE1ORGE H. SELLICK, PRINTER AND PUBLISHER, BEDFORD STREET. 189I. Also to be had of the Author, at his residence, I9, King Street, Tavistock, Devon. PRICE ONE SHILLING. ADDENDA TO " THE BALANCE OF PHYSICS." PREFACE. SOME years since, I published the Work entitled as above, and it contained a claim, with abundant evidence of the settlement, respecting the old difficulty concerning " The Square of the Circle " (pub. 1885). Hitherto I have seen no denial of that evidence, until of late my attention has been directed to a paper on the subject, in a periodical, Vol. I., No. 2., called "The Monist," by HERM.AN SCHUBERT, which still seeks to maintain the rather modern idea, than belonged to many earlier ages, that it was insoluble.* Whether he has or not seen my work I know not. By this he reports, " It is impossible with ruler and compasses to construct a square equal in area to a given circle. These are the words of a final determination of a controversy which is as old as the history of the human mind. But the race of circle-squarers, unmindful of the verdict of Mathematics, that most infallible of arbiters, will never die out, as long as ignorance and the thirst for glory shall be united." The learned Professor is very dictatorial here, but, unhappily for him, he has not proved the circle is not itself found; and I shall show, in my examination of his Paper, which is valuable as a history of the effort to discover the object named, that in his expressions of contempt on those who have thought differently from him, -so far as to make the attempt,-he includes some of the most illustrious mathematicians of ages past, amongst others, Archimedes, for one, who certainly secured, as Schubert makes it appear, the nearest to that to be proved correct. Self-sufficiency is not all with those who hold it to be attainable. Before I enter any further practical evidence, respecting the circle to the diameter, let us consider, with something of a fair and critical eye, the statements in the learned Professor's history itself. As to matters of historic fact, it has its value, and much to myself, as I knew that Archimedes used, as the best practically for x, 31-. But whether he had, to his satisfaction, demonstrated the reality of its perfect value, or not, I had no information. Herr Schubert gives proof he had not. The words used as to the controversy I quote, " It is as old as the history of the human mind," may be correct so far as uninspired writers go, which he traces thus,-" In the oldest mathematical work we possess, we find a rule that tells us how a square is equal to a given circle, and that this is a work no earlier than 2,000 and 1,700 B.C., which was composed on an earlier model, of King Raenmat, half a thousand years older." I It was kindly hinted me, in a notice by the American Editors. 4 PREFACE. Suppose this to be all we have from such early sources; no book or record can be cut out of entry, in respect to the point, that assumes to initiate all physical Truth as by "weight to measure," or gives the statement that the whole universe rests on that system which even the best mathematicians have to relapse to, for a practical value in their calculations, and which all astronomers and chemists, electricians or other savants, find fully efficient to their demands, for securing practical results by measure to measure. That Book has a statement older than King Raenmat's, given as the key to find it. It is much to be feared the further opposition to 3} is resting on a desire, so many have undoubtedly shown of late years, i.e. to ignore that divine volume, to the great injury of mankind (Isaiah xl. 12, Job xxviii. 25). By his history the Professor tells us of Arab, Greek, and Sicilian savants, who all sought to find x as hopeful or rational. Besides Archimedes, he tells us, France was rich in circle-squarers, and mentions some names of others, amongst them Gregory, Newton and Leibnitz, as stated to have been seekers of its ratio as soluble, in hope. Thus, " Fruitful as the calculus of Newton and Leibnitz was for evaluation of x, the problem for converting a circle into a square, having exactly the same area, was nowise advanced thereby." How could it, if the base was uncertain? Of the circle itself. The Hindu result he gives us to be 3, 1416, while x really lies between 3,I41592 and 3,I41593, he says. I shall prove that the Hindu result was really the nearest. Archimedes's ratio is stated as between 31- and 3+ — With such a host of men of science, who are also admitted to be men of first-class minds, and whose heads it did not enter that they were seeking an ignis fatuus of hoplessness,-I do not see, with Professor Schubert, that he has a right to claim absolute submission to an idea of more modern men,-that they have settled the point so infallibly that no man of sense may doubt the accuracy of their decisions, as it involves Law itself, is without, in mathematics, its requisite foundation. That is that the decimal system is not fully competent to measure to a fraction, all true geometrical forms, of which the radius is used by a pair of compasses to a numerical scale, at units equal, but can be never found as to the circle value, it is the drawer of and proceeds by, and the mass power to that of its squares= proportional. The question is, perhaps (what these savants will be, no doubt, slow to admit), that they have used a wrong system in their efforts to secure the point; but which the decimal order, more simply examined, will itself give the answer to, and has; and I trust, herein, to add other proofs to those already in the work quoted. I might quote much more from the Professor's treatise, in evidence as to the opposition of opinion between the great minds of earlier ages and the self-constituted judges of modern days, whether of the French school he speaks of " who had given up long since the idea of any further examimation of attempts of new men to find x, or others." But, there is one ground in particular, the Professor's history is valuable to me by,-that referred to as to Archimedes's full success and its general declaration of the same results by others. All failed in proof. It is enough for me, from the known results of Kepler's third law, to be assured that the circle to the distance is perfectly squared in natural fact, by a true circle 36o~. For the squares of the times is, from a rule of strict observation, centre by centre, PREFACE. 5 taken by the orbits, as of a distance to 360~ absolute, to find the diameters by times, on the proportionating cubes. The value of that fact against the especial modern idea of irrationality, appears never to have struck the attention of those savants as against them. I place these points, in advance, before my readers, to show the miserable effects, as to further investigation, that these so satisfied mathematical savants have necessarily produced, in leading careless examiners to believe it insoluble, and so to lead them to follow the said French school, as to be prejudiced against reading further. In this effort to get attention, I have often met with this:-"! the square of the circle has been proved impossible to be found." It satisfies the lazy as well as the bigots. Nothing but confidence in "The Force ol Truth " could have induced me to publish a success, or hope to get a sensible audience. To prove the Bible (so slandered of late as to its scientific inductions) was true, was my path of duty and sustaining hope. By this, too, the teaching of dark-minded men, only increased the difficulty in present times. But, I think light is dawning, and that the sceptics feel it is so; and, I quite agree with the German writer, " That in.lMathemiatics, a conviction is only justlfied by incontestible proof." INTRODUCTION. BEFORE I attend to the especial points of the further proofs for x, I desire to make a few remarks on the principles of the circle. The straight line by which alone it can be drawn has the first place in principles of Geometry over all Nature. But why? Because it speaks to the demand of a straight immutable act of righteousness in the drawer. It is not a form in itself, but aids to correctness in all forms, as a law rational. Thus the circle requires, and can be drawn as an unerring test of truth, subject to it. Then, the circle speaks as the mother of all forms, to perfection in life and truth. Euclid so begins, and by these incontestible primal points, all the problems depend on, all forms so originate. So Euclid is a geometrical witness to the demand on eternal righteousness; and, whether seen, or not so to be a sound book on law derivable. Also, the radii from the centre of any circle speak of life and liberty, to extensions infinite-a joy and a rest. It is quite right in the grammar of Mineralogy to make the cube the standard; but it, and all crystal modifications, were first fluid globules in witness of life. The cube,-as capable of being built to most solid resistance for breaking up into life, and has the root for the mass,-inertial in resistance-represents death —collapse-so all other crystals associate. If, then, the base has no power to develope in the circle the irational, the same deficiency must be on the line, and disorder must be of an universal result. So Nature and Euclid are made at variance as to calculating results of the problems, all of life or death. Now the whole universe is a correct timekeeper to the hand of its M\aker; but, if the ir-rationalistic savants are right, how then are the times so correct? That which starts under all properties of law subject to error, we know, always increases it toward ruin at once, and falsification. Yet, out of this system of universal error, some men of science-many, are teaching that from " the beginning, Man, the focus of Nature's results, has progressed, and will, to find a perfect man " Error everywhere in Nature, their apparent maker of man; yet man without Incarnation or revelation improving. Man and Nature, physically, from the first not fit to work together, the perfect THE ROOTS FOR "RATIONALITY." IN one paper of "The Balance of Physics," I used the Table of Numbers for Spherical Trigonometry, and proved, by working round the whole Canon thereof, that the square of the circle is to be completed, notwithstanding the inaccuracies of the table, enforced on the calculator by the circumscribed degree of a settled allowance of numbers he must use. No proof could be greater, as the circle gave all the compensations finally. But, it cannot be expected here that I should go through all the abundant evidence in that work again for those who have not seen it, whether Herr Schubert, or others. I can, however, and in fact need for their sakes, to present "Law" from the integers themselves of the Arithmetical Canon, as it was shewn in the paper titled " The Square of the Circle by Simple Arithmetic," for on it my base is secured under infallible voices divinely presented in the first chapter of Genesis. The decimal order thus, I, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, I - added=222, and 5-, 8, 9, the same, 22-. This gives, of the whole 45, the centre of gravity for unit, normal values in weight, (typal of globules material) in the body of 7, while, when the cipher (nil for a start) is generated by a multiplier fraction by reaction, there is the numeral value by Io, central in 5, to be harmonized with on circuits. Hence, between the two orders, all chemists find the variations made between chemical cohesion and gravitational associations by weight to weight only, and are to be found under this divinely given system of the Genesis, as of measure to measure, divisible of equal sizes, on variations of different densities and chemical sympathies, as the measure to measure in the two classes by legal association demand. The one for more or less rest; the other, so laid as to carry different degrees of breaking-up power into action, whether, as to simple rotation, or designs to designs organised by elective positions to law for order, by electrical sympathies over changes. Then, as weight to weight is a law primal over all variations of all properties for the reaction, decimal in submission, action got up by a necessary feeder, or multiplying agent to all the system, ("Let light be") so between the central rights of 7 in simple gravitational claim, and 5 for vitalizing use against it for chemical changes, &c., &c., heat to gravitation goes to work, but amongst all chemical changes, units of equality, aggregated, have to submit to 7 for the circle of reactions, or, by weight to weight, to rule by measure. So, setting out as tables of numbers do by a unit, and extension of the new figure for 8 THE ROOTS FOR " RATIONALITY.7 reactions, o, we had I,oooo000000000 7= I42857,I42857; for ever. The current value of decimals will give the same result, when 3 for the diameter is added; and, if we use 10,0oo0000 7= 1,42857I1 SO multiplying 7 by 3= 21 + 142857; we get our 22 its equal for 7: 22 =X, so 37; 3,1428577, or 7: 22 give the same quotients for any circle to its diameter by a scale certainly true. Thus, the skill of Archimedes, by other more complex modes, approached very closely to this most certain settlement by the integers in claim over each other, and for actual facts (stubborn things) he used it as best. Then, 7 x 3= 22. With a decimal 70 X 37- 220: 70 X 3.14285 7 -= 220. 7: 22 70: 220 incontrovertibly. This is simple, rational, and demonstrative, so far as finding the true circle is concerned. If proof is not allowed, when evidence is at all roots unique, how can it exist at all? Those who have not seen the other proofs in the earlier works, cannot need more than this. By these values, in association (for the contrasts needed) in this brief summary of the rule, I shall work only in this paper. The evidence, again, by a new order taken under them, will be complete for the circle to the diameters chosen, and by a right submitted to by all to see the results by, THE WORK IN DEMAND. We will now proceed to our actual work by a set of successional evidences, and start on a root from 22 to o, by its half as of fractions, normal at use.

Who are the presumtuous? The decimal system is, by some very learned idealists on the question, held to have been invented by the Arabians, but, somehow it is found in the records of Moses, as belonging to an earlier state at use, and, as Noah worked by it, and Abraham plainly pleaded by it-from 50, 40, 20, o1 to 5, it is difficult to believe that it was unknown until his young son Ishmael got so far as to have such a clever inventive family. But, heads sometimes run under minds of peculiar currents on history. Now, one thing, so far, appears clearly; that, if 3 is proved to carry the palm, as duly derived from Law over the decimal order of the school-integers, then not only is 3,I416 too low to 3,1428577, the right resultant to its equal, i.e., 7: 22, but, also that the preferred value of 3,1415923 or other lesser, one is further off than ever. Also, the man who can think amidst too common modern ideals of the human first estate, or at any time that anyone (but He who alone could condense all moral obligations into the few words of the ten commandments) could give the ist of Genesis as a son of nature's evolutionary human primogenitor, must have a strange idea of what logic is. Both revelations of law convey the evidence of the Divine in their perfections, by even their condensed ratio of words. The one agrees with admitted morals; the other, geology and equals astronomy, &c., &c. I propose now to test the difference in fractional results by the use of the savant's favourite practical ratio of 3 1416, for it is a curious fact that, although refusing to allow that any definite sum could be held attributable to get the circle by, from the diameter, they had to manufacture one to go to work by at all. Could Nature, then, be at work on the unknown to get up Kepler's Third Law for instance so certain, or 360~ for the astronomical judge in test of all claims. I must, for our new object, of necessity lend my sword 7 ths., while I test their crooked, as still uncertain club, as well as the same roots derived from 22, for mass values certain for diameters, as by their system no such roots are possible to be found at true right in law at all.

By our own ratio for x, a fraction is always at hand to carry the work on by into life. So breach of the Sabbath law was death. But. even here, 7 is proved to be the true arranger, and judge of the evidence from absolute bases, the cubic masses, for life. But, if the circle itself is claimed to be for ever irrational, i.e., uncertain in value; how could any squares as cubes for such roots be gotten at all? We have for the favourite value from Professor Schubert, 3,141593 to 3,141592. From another, I have 3,1415926.* Let us see what the first two will produce; though which is best, who is to decide?

So far, however, it corroborates the true decimals to affix to 3, the Index, 857; must finish here. But whatever here appears to get towards value in efficiency, is at once destroyed, as far as Professor Schubert's estimates go, as the true is not here, but in some unknown and unknowable computation between these two last. This one has a sort of sword, at least; but, it is destroyed by its needed mixture with those of 3,141593 of death. So, our sword of the Lord's gift, that is, the Sabbatic value of life-powers all through nature, for design in the settings of the nuclei, either of man for the hope of eternal life, natural at first, or approximates in degrees through generative seeds, to a true womb to keep up species, is even, in unwilling evidence from the enemies of the line of justice shewn out here.,* lements of (Geometry, by A. 13-:.L., improved by SA.MSON -I' PLAYFAIR. THE ROOTS FOR " RATIONALITY." II Before we proceed further, I may note this important point. If the diameter from a given scale of units equal (which is the law thereof), be used to find a circle, as of it the radius, I ask what right have you to present it as a true base at all. Only because you must have one. Certainly, if the circle when proved on its accepted nearest ideal ratio is not certain, then on the principle that where multiplication is not sure (at any value), the subtractive right to be so is gone. Iid this never strike the savants for the claim over the first problem of Euclid, and, hence for all Euclidean demonstrations whatever. For, therein the absoluteness of the straight line, and the circle is the root of every problem set. Hence there must be a root absolute for x, or Euclid is all uncertain rubbish; which I, at least, am not prepared to condemn it to, or from arithmetical results perfect. Have I not as much a right to claim, that any number as a straight line by a scale, moved round a centre to make the circle, is to be the base to find the diameter, as the other, that his diameter by the same scale is a true one to law, and give, a circle value at once? That the sum which cannot be claimed certain forward by multiplication, cannot be held true by the divisor backward, is but common sense, and of arithmetic or geometry. Hitherto, we have taken our cube roots from 22 to be worked under 7, which, amongst the integers of the line, holds the sheer mechanical or weight centre for reactions. We shall now use those of the true table of root successions, from I + I = 2 as the first double, and on by the same ratio, 4, 8, i6, 32, &c., from the table. The third of the cube, for its multiplying power,* thus:-taking it at its direct progress derivately from roots and cubic masses, in circle lines. Again, Professor Schubert carries his right for his line of the circle with vast values, as from globe to globe; so, we start this point here on high definite roots, real, starting at the seventh from 23 inclusive, i.e., 128 diameter.f I283= 2097152 X 3= 659IO49; X2 x8 2563,, I6777216,,,, 527283937 5123,, 134217728,,,, 421827145~ IO243,, I073741824,,, 33746171617 20483,, 8589934592,,,, 269969392897 So far, we get a constant return of the one life-giving ratio for an eternal carrier thereof. That first, for 31. For 7, as divisor over either 123456789,00 added for ever, or the reversed order of the integers, is the only one that will not run out to death, i.e., have a carrying fraction.

Here from this table of abstract rights for diameters and their masses, we have no semblance of harmony in the fractions thrown off; and the less the value added to 3,-the index,-worse it must go. But, we can further prove the perfect rule of 7 by using successional values from either of our cubes above of the table, thus: I293= 246689 7 = 3066697 ~,,,,, X 37,, 67467366 3I3,, 2248091 7,, 32II556 3, X 37, 3922576,,, x 37,, 39225717 I303= 2197000 7 =313857; 2197000 X 36= 9048577 1323= 229968. 7 = 3285666 2299968 X 3= 7229470o Hence, we found at our own scale a true instant return in 7 from the use of the masses of these standard cubes for the range of the circle as the diameters. When no internal fraction exists, or any organical body, which can carry on life with the aid of the surrounding feeding elements, death must follow. We can have a corresponding test in the following, as our fraction runs between 142857 and 142858.

So 83-= 52 X 3;= 2609, hence it will be needless to go further in this course. Even in the choice of a cube for a nucleus to work on, we see the need of elective decision under mental attributes required, as we find in efforts to all inventions. Election by just selection is a law universal to all practice for free working associations, as in all our inventions forced upon the organizers thereof. Designed they must be by mind over matter, as for our factors to factors for a coinage to work by, also values in metals, under commerce, or get out a rotating machine, otherwise nature works only to the boil of equal hemispheres with no motion out of the first place held of the whole, no united rotation. Certainly the mathematicians cannot deny me the just right to dictate a circle by a scale and to find its true proportioning value from a cube, any more than they can claim to dictate a diameter by a scale to find a THE ROOTS FOR " RATIONALITY.' I3 circle; and, I am the more consistent in claiming to get a proportion by my three equal values, 3;, 3,142857I or 7 22, they being from gravitation, as a mass, additively to heat —the subtractive principle as we call it, so to be of a true value for the circle to that diameter. So, I take the liberty to fly on high ground, whether of a set of microbes as Professor Schubert likes to call his equal measures, or, as I should, equalized globules of matter for a straight line to be brought into a circle. So, taking a length equal to 88463564o0906337 I find that all reactions run in a centre by enumerative rights only. 22 7:: 88463564o090633: 281,474,976,710,656, which having the cube root found for it, gives ~/65536 absolute. So again, 281474976710656 x 3,142857;=8846364o090633,142857;, or I, a true x. Alter these values, three, the least fraction, and no such returns could exist by a circle to a scale to find a proportional cube, nor could this exist if the demand of Herr Schubert was not settled for this hereby (or other savants), be they as illustrious amongst men as they may for mathematical inventions. The simple old one is the best. It is by their aid I had from the modernly so despised inspired Biblical record, given by Him who made the worlds to be rational, and to work on the scale of weight to measure, power to power, of the decimal orders, that I succeeded; and I fear as to objectors, it often has been hinc il/ce lachritime, it has been so coldly received before this. If it had helped the evolutionists, what echoes laudative would have followed. If we take the actual cube of the root 65536, the sixteenth in succession from 23 inclusive of this first, and multiply it by only one, the least of their favourite approaches to the square of the circle, we shall have the difference in 88427935034393,204352 and no witness to the true decimal affix to 3, the index appear terminally. No wonder the savants with such aids found nothing. They were looking for the needle in a bundle of straw -the needle being in its true sheath after all. They are thrown out of any cube root by reaction at all on the right I claim to demand this diameter=28i,474,976,7io,656, to be reduced to a circle as readily as any other to a straight line, or vice versi, by a proportional cubic map. Also, I have attended to the generally admitted right for 360~ the horizontal claim, to be a real x. If it is true that x is irralional, this claim is so; and so for reductions to minutes and seconds, &c., &c., by 6oths. Could these savants not see this? Let us put the sum 360~ at work. 360~ X 60o 2600' X 60 =- I296000ooo"X 22-28512000-7 =407342 and the ciphers, if further added, will go on to give the successive 8577 Reduce it, as a sphere to a diameter from the seconds, and we have 22: 7:: 1296000": 412363,80. Add ciphers, and we get the constant action to reaction of a pure elliptic in 6,3,6,3 for ever in the quotient, by 140 to 80 in the constant remainders. This fact, put before any right minded man, is a demonstration for x, found alone. I do not think but that Archimedes, or the Christian Sage, Sir Isaac Newton, would have at once admitted it, and been pleased it was found and provable in such a simple manner. 14 THE ROOTS FOR i RATIONALITY." The further point for the circle to be reduced to its own square, must remain as a question of the transfiguration of solids holding equal measures, in different forms, by equal enclosures, as any circle divided by 4 will, to give the outlines of such square will show. I will re-introduce here a table from the "Balance of Physics," in one of many proofs the circle to the diameter was there demonstrated by, page 190. No one can doubt that 360~ is of a pure circle to geometry, as of a line to time and distance. I reduce it to seconds. 70~ 2/1296000": 3,I428577:: 25200:61111,144000 648000:,,,,,,:1222224,144000 324000:,,,, 244444,144000 162000:,,,,,, 488888,144000 ^ Now, first it will be asked, what right have I to introduce 7 degrees as a divisor, normal in right, over 360~ the horizon. For this I must trouble the algebraists, let their idea be what it may, to a mere sum of figures, intact in a degree, with 25200" )2206000000000( 5,142857,3600 again, so that to go on 126000 again with the tables' catechism of 3600 ciphers added for more numbers, we shall have an eternal return of the same fraction. As I stated, this table was a clear proof of the decimal value in the square of the circle.* The index here is that of the other centre to law, i.e, to numerative right by 0. 2= 5. We will test one of the favourites of the savants' algebraic:1296000: 3,141593::25200":61086,687600 disorder in the 64800":,,.,, 22173,39600 fractions. Then, testing this again by 129600o0 60= 21600' 21600': 3,I42857: 25200": 3666666,14400 as before, to order. But,,: 3, 141593:,,:3665I9I,I8000 lost. It is useless to test the other, which holds by 3,141592 or the unknown quantity between, speculative for ever, of the savants. They really cannot be allowed, however, to reduce the work of Nature, designed to be ruled and measured by man, on time between cause and effect, to a mere non comipos imentis. That is to their own works and inventions, not Jehovah's. I scarcely suppose any mathematician, whether Professor Schubert or other, would on reflection respecting the tale astronomy tells, by which alone the nautical almanack and others are alone possible to be either made correct, or, if in error detected thereby, as by a certain judge over it, would deny that there are, beside 360~, two others, which form certain mean values of decision for all such calculations. In the Table itself, there was the misfortune of me of the eights being left out in printing, but the cause was evident by the rate for the successions. THE ROOTS FOR " RATIONALITY." The one is the diurnal rate of twenty-four hours, and the circle of the earth's ecliptic 23~ 27' mean value. But if all circles of value in orbital fact are but uncertain, because no circle exists as known ralional, but all remaining hopeless to reduce to evidence for the accurate in value with certainty. Has this again escaped their observation, that those also must remain so? How, then, can they be the judges over all astronomical operations? The idea of irrationzal is a direct inconsistency here, and belongs to the assertors of it only. Here I will place the evidence also in full and sufficient record: 360~ I296000 X 2 2592000 and 86400 X 3 = 259200 a decimal less. 86400,, 6,, 518400 and 1296000,, 4,, 5184000,, 9,, 77760 and,,,, 6,,7770000 I296000o x 60,, 7776000,, I15,, 86400"= 24 hours What a union of perfectly, well-known, and beautiful standards to the horizontal circle, as ever their demand for designs to fit the earth to work to it, is here, of which, as far as I know, astronomers themselves have no acquaintance! But we will now test these by their associations under the pure square of the circle; for here the earth's time diurnal is proved equal to run on exactly a decimal less than that of the horizontal line it turns to-a most important fact as to her being made the first for a standard to all globes or other figures organized to commence with her day to night mean:Add more cyphers, and the 24 hours = 86400 x 3 =27I542 j currentvalue 85 7 runs on for 24 hours = 864100 x 3= "27I5427 7.. -7 2 864the finalities of reactions in 22 7: 86400,00 2749090,2 law. Action to reaction equal in constantly recurring two remainders23~ 27 7: 22:: 84420": 265320",-or by the ecliptic angle. 84420 x 37= 265320",, 3, I42857 =265320,000000 The latter multiplier will apply with 7: 22 over all-comers. But we will test the Ecliptic angle with the fellowship demand on it, and then the same forces at work as produce the decimal motion also works the annual. 22: 7:: 84420,00: 26860909 or 09 for ever to 2 and 20 again in direct recurring remainders claimable for ever, exactly the same as we have for the earth's diurnal motion by time. So the tracing for the earth's ecliptic angle under 9go to 84420":: o,1428577 is here, as in the little work on this Ecliptic Angle, especially verified as to making the earth to be in danger as the standard for all, as the order is therein attested further by the addition of the Index 3. THE ROOTS FOR " RATIONALITY. The beauty of the two following operations in test to our claim, can best be seen in what, I suppose, the algebraists most despise-that is, full sums of figures. 0,1428577 3,1428577 86400 86400 o,57142800 1257142800 8837142 18857142 II42856 25,142856 123427 1,2342 7 I23,42857,1427 2715,42857,142 The most attentive repeats of the decimals of the square of the circle throughout the both. To resist the evidence is only a bigotry like insanity. In each case add the decimals needed, and they appear for ever six in return. This is decisive evidence, not only as to x not being irrational, but of the perfect beauty in the earth's design, to be worked by new light solar gasses of electrical support for all her work rotative, and the ecliptic angle in the revolution, which so comes in by the latter also, under 360~, the astronomer's test ratio. And now a word respecting Professor Schubert's last demand to prove x is found in full only by reduction of the circle to a square. I have used the map of a square to find the line for a true base as diameter. To take the map of a sphere so large demands the rule for the transfiguration of solids, of course. It is a question for the engineers in common. But in testing what a circle is, we have nothing to do really with microbes or globules, as they both have length with breadth and depth, except as they are used for changes to carry it by their arithmetized centres. A pure circle, to its lines, is to be dealt with on the same root mathematicians demand for a pure straight line, i.e., it has neither depth or breadth, but only length, and invisible. In our arithmetic the size of the figures affects not the reaction. The only way it is brought into practice in material life is by the work of Jehovah in the unchanging value of the earth's diurnal action reckoned by time, or by the orbit. Then the working action rests on the decimal changes of all the properties of matter over the centre, also invisible, and there it is worked out. But we can enumerate its value by decimal deductions to its signs and lines; but in all cases a map of equalized, equally ideal units are held to be subject to fall from one form to another under a rule of law to proof granted. So, as a cube has equal. lines over the centre right angular to each other, and a sphere at all lines around the centre, I hold that it follows that if the circle's dimensions are held subject to be reduced to those equal circles, all for a square, which is done by a division by 4, the true square is found for its map and area, as any pure THIF ROOTS FOR " RATIONAIITY." I7 sphere may be held to fall to that form by three lines of recession from points over the centre necessary for it. I do not think any practical engineer, as to equal contents or area, would differ from me; but whether this is to be accepted as a pure mathematical demonstration or not, one thing is certain, that unless the actual value for x to find the absolute sphere to act on, as of true circles round, is first decided, it can be of no use whatever to try. What can be done to get its dependant square? The first point I have settled for anyone who wishes to attest, as he thinks best, the other point. As to the prejudice against examining any new effort, it looks like the old one of pride and bigotry. " Have any rulers believed in him?" Who sets them up? Themselves, Galileo, Copernicus, Newton, and many others have had it to deal with, and held it worthless up to the time of the first inventor of power by steam, or the commanding genius that found the canal passage to India feasible, although he failed in that of Panama, to be ruled by prejudice. Let us have our time to settle one thing at a time, at least; and the base here for the other is what is wanted first. In connection, I can only say if another starts up who succeeds in anything further, I shall be most happy to hear of it. My object is simply to prove the Bible to be an aid. In all my labours I have had nothing to keep me much interested in this from other easier studies but that which first led me into action, i.e,, to prove the libels thrown by modern scientists on the Bible false; and it is all I care about particularly, although in the course of it I found much pleasure in the new facts I had reached after and found. The main point I have succeeded in. I belong to no college of the learned, who would have some associated minds to uphold them. I have fought, wisely or not, alone and unaided, except as I accepted facts proved by others in print, which I always acknowledged. I hold in contempt all plagiarisms or jealousy of others, but as an English gentleman, and especially as a Christian, to maintain the infallibility of the Bible, and help all men to see its value. I work against all enemies of my race, and seek the Truth on all points therefrom in honour of God the giver, and by the aid of His spirit only. I may note this point in final conclusion on this subject. It is admitted that facts are stubborn things to object to; I suppose the algebraists fully thought so. New views are drawn direct from the decimal fountain, back to which (let other evidence be of thirteen pages or eight of algebra) there must be a demand to give their conclusion direct to figures, however pretty and complete to others of their class such studies in detail may appear. But even Professor Schubert admits that many of his history (where their note of it is recorded) say they found 31 practically best. Thus"It is further worthy of remark that the earlier of these Hindu mathematicians does not mention either the value of 37 of Archimedes, or the value of 37,0' of Ptolemy, but that the latter knows of both values, and especially recommends that of Archimedes as the most i8 THE ROOTS FOR "' RATIONALITY." useful one for practical application." Again, "With regard to the mathematicians of Greece that follow Archimedes, all refer to and employ the approximate value of 3;, without however contributing anything new or additional to the problem of the quadrature of the cyclometre." Why did Archimedes use 37? Yet, against all fact in practice, the author of the paper in "The Monist" seeks to maintain the presumption of those who at least thought and attempt to find the possible absolute. What, then, have algebraists done to contribute to the problem of cyclometres? By their own showing nothing; for even if it lay between 3,141593 and 3,141592 as he asserts, who could say it was indefinite somewhere between them. And 3,1416 is admittedly a needed judge till a better be found. Archimedes must have thought that for practice 37 was better than anything like 3,1416 or its neighbours. I have no doubt algebra has its use, but it certainly does not always, as in this case, shorten the line of demonstration, and can do nothing against pure decimal decisions, the final test of all such workings for facts, and it can be shown it is not equal to find it. It must be revealed to man in a key divine. I add a new witness to elliptical powers by 3T over decimal action to another given in "The Balance of Physics." That was derived from 22: 7:: 98765432I: 3142536742 x 9 = 2828282828 x by the integers in succession, and then by 37, all quotients set into a column as this is. We will now show the reflex result lby 22: 7:: 123456789: 3928I705 3 x 9 = 353535350 7 9 being a correct reactor, is thus seen to work with 3I, its coadjutor therein to ellipsis entire between them. 35353553507 x 2=707070700o4 x 3= 2222222201,,,, 3,, IO606o6056050,, 3333333302,,,, 4,, r14414I40I,,,, 4444444403, 5,, I76767675I12,,, 5555555504,,,, 6,, 2I212120II,,, 6666666666605,, 7,, 24747474525,,,,777777776,,, 8,, 2828282802 2,,,8888888807,,, 9,, 3 I81818152,,, 99999999908,, I,, 353535350322,,, IIIIIIII09 This beautiful result proves the co-efficient value for the circle of 37 to 9, as was shown in the earlier instance by the use of the major line; and be it remembered that in that first 314253674 not only strikes into the 3,14 start of the decimal x 3,142857, but also that the earth's orbit in time does the same, to show her a designed standard vessel, but with concessions set in to meet the working with her sun, which provides her gases of support and power, and to carry her moon. Earth's orbital time, 3I4720I4-". The first reaction by x io here, to start by the unit again, is not upset by the use of 3; for the other squares of the circle -the left hand columns running down by the integers of succession. At the right hand, and all the belly by 23456789 to the reaction of the ruling father of all, the unit one. No man of judgment could doubt THE ROOTS FOR 4 RATIONALITY." I9 the evidence complete for x true to be here, and the other case referred to. There will be carrying fractions for life in each, but I have not thought it requisite to enter them. I now leave this question for Herr Schubert and others to determine, and not doubting his sincerity of opinion or purpose, by his own words in test. He says: " But what kind of people are these circle-squarers when examined by the light? Almost always they will be found to be imperfectly.educated persons whose mathematical knowledge does not exceed that of a modern college freshman," &c. Has such education been infallible always, by his own account? Again, "Similarity in the case of all other attempted solutions of the problem, either logical fallacies or violations of elementary arithmetical, or geometrical truths, may be pointed out." How, then, in this latter respect, for one who found not out that the value of his straight line for any base was undermined by the idea irrational for the circle from it,-that it affected all the problems of Euclid with the palsy. That subtraction must reduce its opponent multiplication to have equal results in irrationalit'y or rationaiity on bases as well as products, or that the square could not be found before the circle itself. Then truly he says, "The quadrature of the circle for it stands or falls with the problem of rectification." True; but if this is true, I have by the aid of the Mosaic institution of law in respect of rotation turning on a settled root by the forces doing it, whether of chemical powers set or not, by perfectly formed rectification for all parts together as a body, so as to get the whole mass to rotate, instead of half and half in a boil, I thus placed it in the body of the figure 7. I leave this for those not bound to human presumption for the infallible to consider; but by its value as directly derived from the Bible, and the decimal order to its parts as I found it. No doubt to find Archimedes was the best mathematician will be galling to the moderns.
