hose two points.
_Plain Anger_ is the inclination of two voters to one
another, who meet together, but whose views are not in the
same direction.
When two parties, coming together, feel a Right Anger, each
is _said_ to be _complimentary_ to the other,
though, strictly speaking, this is very seldom the case.
_A surd_ is a radical whose meaning cannot be exactly
ascertained.
As the "Notes of an Oxford Chiel" has been long out of print, I will
give a few more extracts from this paper:--
_On Differentiation._
The effect of Differentiation on a Particle is very
remarkable, the first differential being frequently of
greater value than the original particle, and the second of
less enlightenment.
For example, let L = "Leader", S = "Saturday", and then LS =
"Leader in the Saturday" (a particle of no assignable
value). Differentiating once, we get L.S.D., a function of
great value. Similarly it will be found that, by taking the
second Differential of an enlightened Particle (_i.e.,_
raising it to the Degree D.D.), the enlightenment becomes
rapidly less. The effect is much increased by the addition
of a C: in this case the enlightenment often vanishes
altogether, and the Particle becomes Conservative.
PROPOSITIONS.
PROP. I. PR.
_To find the value of a given Examiner_.
_Example_.--A takes in ten books in the Final
Examination and gets a 3rd class; B takes in the Examiners,
and gets a 2nd. Find the value of the Examiners in terms of
books. Find also their value in terms in which no
Examination is held.
PROP. II. PR.
_To estimate Profit and Loss_.
_Example_.--Given a Derby Prophet, who has sent three
different winners to three different betting-men, and given
that none of the three horses are placed. Find the total
loss incurred by the three men (_a_) in money,
(_b_) in temper. Find also the Prophet. Is this latter
usually possible?
PROP. IV. TH.
_The end_ (i.e., "_the product of the extremes")
justifies_ (i.e., "_is equal to_"--_see Latin
"aequus") the means_.
No example is appended to this Proposition, for obvious
reasons.
PROP. V. PR.
_To continue a given series._
_Example_.--A and B, who are respectively addicted to
Fours and Fives, occupy the same set of rooms, which is
alway
