4 (a). Euclid, I, II.

1. Define-point, straight line, plane, right angle, parallel straight lines, quadrilateral, parallelogram, rectangle; and write down Euclid's 12th axiom, and the axioms on two straight lines and on right angles.

2. Bisect a given rectilineal angle.

3. If two triangles have two sides of the one equal to two sides of the other, each to each, but the angle contained

by the two sides of one of them greater than the angle contained by the two sides equal to them, of the other, the base of that which has the greater angle shall be greater than the base of the other.

4. If a straight line be divided into two equal parts and also into two unequal parts, the rectangle contained by the unequal parts, together with the square on the line between the points of section, is equal to the square on half the line.

5. If a side of any triangle be produced, the exterior angle is equal to the two interior and opposite angles; and the three interior angles of every triangle are together equal to two right angles.

Enunciate the first corollary to this proposition. What number of sides must a rectilineal figure have which has each of its interior angles equal to one and a half right angle?

6. Divide a given straight line into two parts, so that the rectangle contained by the whole and one of the parts may be equal to the square on the other part.

7. The complements of the parallelograms which are about the diameter of any parallelogram, are equal to one another. 8. Describe a square that shall be equal to a given rectilineal figure.

Hannibal summoned a meeting of the principal Tarentine citizens, and explained to them all the difficulties that beset him. He saw no way of storming such a strongly fortified citadel, and he had no hope from a blockade as long as the enemy remained masters of the sea. If he had ships with which to stop the import of supplies, the enemy would at once either retire or surrender. The Tarentines concurred, but they maintained that he who gave the advice must help towards carrying it into effect. Carthaginian ships,' they said, 'brought up from Sicily could do this. As for their own, shut in as they were within a confined bay, while the enemy held the entrance to the harbour, in what possible manner could they escape into the open sea?' To this Hannibal replied, Escape they shall, if you follow my advice and carry out what I suggest. Many things which nature surrounds with impediments are easy to accomplish by forethought.'

Itaque is terror in castris ortus, qui si pugnantes cepisset, insignis accepta clades foret. Ubi primum illuxit, abire sine. certamine cupiunt. Sed via una, et ea praeter hostes, erat: qua ingressi, praebuere speciem recta via tendentium ad castra oppugnanda. Consul arma capere milites jubet, et sequi se extra vallum. Legati omnes affirmant, se quidem omnia facturos, sed militum jacere animos. Tota nocte inter vulnera et gemitus morientium vigilatum esse. Si ante lucem ad castra ventum foret, tantum pavoris futurum fuisse, ut relicturi signa fuerint: nunc pudore a fuga contineri: alioquin pro victis esse.' Quae ubi consul accepit, cunctantes arma capere increpabat 'Quid cessarent, tergiversarenturque ?'
