Published online by Cambridge University Press:  18 August 2016

Extract

According to Mr. Locke, the circumference is three diameters, three-fourths the difference of the diameter and the side of the inscribed equilateral triangle, and three-fourths the difference between seven-eighths of the diameter and the side of the same triangle. This gives, he says, 3·18897. There is an addition to this tract, being an appendix to a book on the longitude.
