experience, often longer than is held judicious by after times. We only desire to avail ourselves of this feeling until the book is produced which is to supplant Euclid; we regret the manner in which it has allowed the retention of the faults of Euclid; and we trust the fight against it will rage until it ends in an amended form of Euclid.
