TPT sends WW another attempt at solving the difficulty about the Theory of Parallels [see TPT to WW, 26 June 1837]: 'What I seem to have arrived at, after more than forty years chase, to that the solution of the difficulty, though not in what is called (properly or improperly) the lower Geometry, is in the higher. And not in so very high either' [see his 'Geometry without Axioms. Or the First Books of Euclid's Elements', 1830]..
