But that this may appear the more clearly, I will now repeat the foregoing refolution of this equation in the ftyle and manner of Mr. Raphfon, by omitting the feveral reafonings fet forth in the foregoing articles, and making ufe of a Canon, or Theorem, for the purpofe of computing the Page 357 - Root of an Equation that has more than One real and affirmative Root.
