The object of the paper was to draw attention to a few important and well known cases of the harmonic section of a straight line, and to show their application to one or two problems of interest, more especially the method of drawing tangents to a conic by the ruler only. The effort throughout was to secure clearness, brevity, and freshness of proof, coupled with purely geometrical treatment.
