Translate the following passage into Latin Prose :—

But if there were no such considerations as the good effect which selfdenial has upon the sense of other men towards us, it is of all qualities the most desirable for the agreeable disposition in which it places our own minds. I cannot tell what better to say of it, than that it is the very contrary of ambition; and that modesty allays all those passions and inquietudes to which that vice exposes us. He that is moderate in his wishes, from reason and choice, and not resigned from sourness, distaste, or disappointment, doubles all the pleasures of his life. The air, the season, a sunshiny day, or a fair prospect, are sources of happiness; and that which he enjoys in common with all the world (by his exemption from the enchantments by which all the world are bewitched) are to him uncommon benefits and new acquisitions. Health is not eaten up with care, nor pleasure interrupted by envy. He has no emulation; he is no man's rival, but every man's well-wisher; can look at a prosperous man with a pleasure in reflecting that he hopes he is as happy as himself; and has his mind and his fortune (as far as prudence will allow) open to the unhappy and to the stranger.-SPECTATOR.

Translate the following passage into Latin Verse :

The noble blood of Gothic name,
Heroes emblazoned high to fame,

In long array.

How, in the onward course of time,
The landmarks of that race sublime
Were swept away!

Some the degraded slaves of lust,
Prostrate and trampled in the dust,
Shall rise no more;

Others by guilt and crime maintain
The 'scutcheon that without a stain
Their fathers bore.

Wealth, and the high estate of pride,
With what untimely speed they glide,
How soon depart!

Bid not the shadowy phantoms stay,
The vassals of a mistress they

Of fickle heart.

These gifts in fortune's hands are found;
Her swift revolving wheel turns round,
And they are gone!

No rest the inconstant goddess knows,
But, changing and without repose,
Still hurries on.

LONGFELLOW.

Beginning, Natura igitur corpus quidem hominis sic et genuit,.

Cic., De Fin., lib. 5.

Translate the following passage into Greek Trimeter Iambics :

Then fare ye well, ye citizens of Ghent !
This is the last time you will see me here,
Unless God prosper me past human hope.
I thank you for the dutiful demeanour
Which never-no, not once-in any of you
Have I found wanting, though severely tried,
When discipline might seem without reward.
Fortune has not been kind to me, good friends;
But let not that deprive me of your loves,
Or of your good report. Be this the word;
My rule was brief, calamitous,—but just.
No glory which a prosperous fortune yields,
If shorn of this addition, could suffice
To lift my heart so high as it is now.
This is that joy in which my soul is strong,
That there is not a man among you all
That can reproach me that I used my power
To do him an injustice.

1. Tangents to a given circle are drawn at the extremities of a chord which passes through a given point; find the locus of their point of in

tersection.

2. Find two lines which shall be to each other in the ratio of two regular pentagons.

3. Equiangular parallelograms are to one another in a ratio compounded of the ratios of their sides.

4. If from the extremities of the base of a triangle perpendiculars be let fall on the bisectors of the vertical angle, their rectangle equals the square of half the sum of the sides the square of half the difference of the sides?

5. Prove that the rectangle under the chords of the sum and difference of two arcs is equal to the difference of the squares of their chords.

6. Given base, rectangle under the sides, and the radius of the circumscribing circle; construct the triangle, and prove the corollary which you assume in the construction.

MR. TOWNSEND.

7. Give Euclid's definition of a tangent to a circle; and prove, as he has done, that the perpendicular to the radius at any point of a circle is a tangent to the circle.

8. Give Euclid's definition of the contact of two circles; and prove, as he has done, that two circles cannot have contact of either species at more than one point.

9. Find a point on a given line the sum of whose distances from three given lines shall be given.

10. Draw a line through a given point the sum of whose distances from three given points shall be given.

II. Find a point on a given circle which shall determine with two given points on the circle a triangle of maximum perimeter.

12. Draw a tangent to a given circle which shall determine with two given tangents to the circle a triangle of minimum area.

MR. LESLIE.

13. Prove that any two arcs of a circle have to one another the same ratio as the angles they subtend at the centre of the circle.

14. The sides of a triangle are divided each in a given ratio; what relation must subsist between the ratios of the segments, in order that lines connecting the points of section to the opposite angles may intersect at a point?

Prove that this condition is satisfied for the bisectors of the angles and the perpendiculars.

15. Given the difference of the squares of two lines, and the rectangle under them; find them.

16. Prove that the diameter of the circle which passes through the feet of the perpendiculars of a triangle is equal to the radius of the circumscribing circle.

17. Inscribe a triangle in a circle whose sides pass through given points.

18. Find the locus of a point such that the difference of the squares of the tangents drawn from it to two circles may be constant.
