Excerpt from The Solutions of the Geometrical Problems
The Examination Papers which the Author has selected for solution in the present Treatise have been proposed in the several years from 1830 to 1846 to the students of St John's College at the end of their fourth term of residence, and according to the plan which he adopted in the solution of the Trigonometrical Problems, he has endeavoured to place them before the reader in a proper form for the inspection of the examiner. The problems are sufficiently varied in their character to exercise the student in the ordinary properties of the straight line, circle, and conic sections; they have been proposed by some of the most distinguished members of the society; the generality of the results are remarkable for their neatness and simplicity; and except in one instance it is needless here to make any further comment.
In Question 6, Dec. 1833. (No. IV), it is required "To inscribe in a circle a triangle whose sides or sides produced shall pass through three given points in the same plane."
