Whately] _... Archbishop of Dublin and the author_ (London, 1861), _The Cosmology of Sir Isaac Newton proved to be in accordance with the Bible_ (London, 1871), _The Steam Locomotive as revealed in the Bible_ (London 1863) and _On the Sacred Law of 1866, conferring perpetual life with immunity from decay and disease. A cento of decisive scriptural oracles strangely discovered_ (London and Dublin, 1875). These titles will help the reader to understand the man whom De Morgan so pleasantly satirizes.

Of these brothers, Benjamin taught the art in America, Jacob in Australia, and Joseph, Henry, and Frederick in England. [169] For example, _The Phonographic Lecturer_ (London, 1871 etc.), _The Phonographic Student_ (1867, etc.), and _The Shorthand Magazine_ (1866, etc.). [170] See Vol. II, page 68, note 148. [171] It involves the theory of non-Euclidean geometry, Euclid's postulate of parallels being used in proving this theorem. [172] Referring to the fact that none of the works of Thales is extant. [173] The author was one B. Bulstrode. Parts 4 and 5 were printed at Calcutta. [174] See Vol. II, page 5, note 18. [175] See Vol. I, page 85, note 2 {129}.

When he took Ismail in 1790 he sent this couplet to Empress Catherine. [177] "Newton hath determined rightly," "Newton hath not determined rightly." [178] See Vol. I, page 288, note 3 {621}.
