                <lb/>
              The first row shows the possible ways of arranging two circles (separated, touching, intersecting, one inside the other touching, one inside the other but not touching).
                <lb/>
              Below that, a third circle is added, outside the other two but touching both, or between them touching both, or outside one but touching the other, and so on.
                <lb/>
              The attempt soon becomes erratic, but is an interesting example of Harriot's liking for systematic </s>
