Excerpt from An Essay on the Elements of Cyclometry: Intended to Illustrate the Relations Which Exist Between Curve and Right-Lined Figures
He may have lost his clue, and be still wandering amidst the hopeless mazes of a labyrinth, where multitudes of the most observant have become irretrievably bewildered. To fail, however, where the wisest have erred is no disgrace; and, in the smallest degree, to succeed offers a temptation which it is presumed few well-formed minds are desirous, or able, to resist.
