bears the same relation to 10 as 8 does to 16. Hence,

is expressed by symbols thus: a:b::c:d, or a:b = c:d,
or a/b = c/d.

proportion; for 2 is to 6 as 1 to 3. Thus, 24, 16, 12, 9,
are harmonical, for 24:9::8:3.

proportion as they are metaphysically true, they are
morally and politically false.' --Burke. Continued proportionContinued Con*tin"ued, p. p. & a.
