(See also Lambert, Freie Perspective, 1774. ) Here we may ask a question which algebra enables us to answer immediately : In what cases can the solution of an algebraic problem be constructed with the straight edge alone? The answer is not given with sufficient explicitness by the authors mentioned. We shall say : With the straight edge alone we can construct all algebraic expressions ivhose form is rational. With a similar view Brianchon published in 1818 a paper, Les applications de la theori...e des transver sales, in which he shows how his constructions can be effected in many cases with the straight edge alone. He likewise insists upon the practical value of his methods, which are especially adapted to field work in surveying. Poncelet was the first, in his Traite des proprietes projectives (Vol. I, Nos. 351-357), to conceive the idea that it is sufficient to use a single fixed circle in connection with the straight lines 34 FAMOUS PROBLEMS. of the plane in order to construct all expressions depending upon square roots, the center of the fixed circle being given.
