ACT II.
Scene VI.
§ 3. Willock.
'This work … no doubt, has its faults.’
Willock, Pref. p. 1.
Nie. I lay before you 'The Elementary Geometry of the Right Line and Circle' by W. A. Willock, D.D., formerly Fellow of Trinity College, Dublin, published in 1875.
Min. I have gone through the subject of 'direction' so minutely in reviewing Mr. Wilson's book, that I need not discuss with you any points in which your client essentially agrees with him. We may, I think, pass over the subject of the Right Line altogether?
Nie. Yes.
Min. And as to Angles and Right Angles, I see no novelty in Dr. Willock's book, except that he defines an Angle as 'the divergence of two directions,' which is virtually the same as Euclid's Definition.
Nie. That I think is all.
