Gravitation near the Earth's Surface. - Construction of the Obe-

lisk. -- Variation of Time, Velocity, and Distance represented

by the Ordinates and Axis of the Obelisk. - The obeliscal and

parabolic Areas compared. — Construction and Summation of

obeliscal Series of Numbers, Squares, and Cubes. — Series of

Obelisks and Pyramids compared and summed. — Series to

the second, fourth, and sixth Powers. - Series of Cubes

circumscribed by Squares. — The obeliscal Star or Cross. —

Complementary obeliscal Series. — Pylonic Curve generated

by the Ordinate which varies inversely as the Ordinate of the

Obelisk. — The Horn of Jupiter Ammon formed by the spiral

Obelisk

PART II.

Hyperbolic Series. — Series of 1, 2, 5, &c., 1,526&c.,

, &c. - Hyperbolic reciprocal Curve from which

is generated the Pyramid and hyperbolic Solid, the Ordi-

nates of which vary inversely as each other, that of the

Pyramid varies as D, that of the hyperbolic Solid varies as

1 le
- Series 12, 22, 32, &c., and 1, &c. - The hyper-

bolic Solid will represent Force of Gravity varying asor

Velocity varying as -.-Time + which varies as p2 will be

represented by the Ordinate of Pyramid, or by the solid

Obelisk. – Gravity represented symbolically in Hieroglyphics

by the hyperbolic Solid. — The Obelisk represents the
