Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Thoughts on Religion: And Other Subjects This vague definition, however, was the ray of light which guided him onward in Mathematical study. It became the Subject of continued thought. In his play hours, he would shut himself up in an empty room, and draw with chalk on the floor, triangles, parallelograms, and circles, without knowing their scientific names. He would compare these several fig ures, and would examine the relations that their several lines bore to each other; and in this way, he gradually arrived at the proof of the fact, that the sum of all the angles of a triangle is equal to two right angles, which is the thirty second proposi tion of the first book of Euclid. The young geometer had just attained this point, when his father surprized him, deeply occupied in the prohibited study. But he was himself no less astonished than his son, when, on examining into the, nature of his occupation, he ascertained the conclusion to which he had come and on inquiring how he arrived at it, the child point ed out several other principles which he had previously asoer tained, and at length stated the first principles which he had gathered for himself in the way of axioms and definitions.
