Or describing them by reference to the icosahedron, the points A are the summits, the points В are the centres of the faces, the points 0 are the midpoints of the sides (viz. each point 0 is the common midpoint of a side of the dodecahedron and a side of the icosahedron, which there intersect at right angles), and the points Ф are points lying by...

But, imagining the five regular figures drawn in proper relation to each other on the same spherical surface, the only points which have thus to be considered are 12 points A, 20 points Д 30 points 0, and 60 points Ф. These may be, in the first instance, described by reference to the dodecahedron ; viz. the points A are the centres of the faces, the points В are the summits, the points 0 are...

Page 280 - Gd. cloth. [April 17, 1877. THE object of this work is to gather under one head everything of interest relating to the Tiber. For this purpose the Author has collected the facts which are scattered through a variety of works, some of which are out of print, and are fast mouldering away in the few libraries where they are preserved. It is, indeed, surprising that, while so much has been written on the ruins and monuments of...

Page 280 - ... have attempted to defend the river against its detractors. Yet not only is no river in the world so rich in associations as the Tiber, but that river, with its tributaries, presents an epitome of the physical peculiarities which are to be found in all the other rivers of the earth. The Tiber, it is true, would be but a third or fourth rate tributary of the Orinoco. But if it does not speak to the imagination by its vastness, there is the element of the grand in its inundations, and it is interesting...
