It may be received as certain that discoveries will be made in all branches of science, the exact nature of which cannot be anticipated.
Seite 161 - In any triangle, the square of a side opposite an acute angle is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides diminished by twice the product of one of those sides and the projection of the other side upon it.

Seite 93 - Naisnuloh, the distance between the marked points being 23?Í0 miles ; and this might have been obviated by placing a station on the main or western branch of the Naisnuloh River which however would have prolonged the work of the British Commission by another Season. — • From a cairn at the foot of the Mountains on the West side of the Similkameen River to the east or left bank of the Columbia, the Boundary for 95 miles is well and continuously marked by 69 stone cairns and one mound of earth,...
