    Having sent to Mr Barrow, Slusius his Construction of Solid Problems, he approves it, and intimates that amonst other things he hath observed, that all, when the Equations are quadrato quadratical may be referr'd to these two Problems, and be constructed as they, without any reduction or alteration of the termes.
