He entered the East India service by competition, but soon returned from India and was elected Liberal representative of Tynemouth in 1865, and of the Scottish Borstone administration he was appointed Civil Lord of the Admiralty (December, der Burghs in 1868. In the second Glad- 1868), but resigned office in July, 1870, the ministry. He strongly advocated, in and out of Parliament, a sweeping army being opposed to the Educational Bill of reform, including the abolition of purchase, effected in 1871. The Volunteer movement had his active support, and he opposed the Regimental Exchanges Bill of 1875. With impetuous rhetoric and fiery invective he has sev the Conservative foreign policy, declaring that war with Russia was only avoidseverely criticized ed by the resignation of "the two brave peers" (Carnarvon and Derby), and that apart from the question of justice the Afghan War was opposed to the interests of the Indian empire.

In geometry, a portion of a surface bounded by three lines , and consequently having three angles. Triangles are either plane, spherical, or curvilinear. A plane triangle is a portion of a plane bounded by three straight lines called sides, and their points of intersection are the vertices of the triangle. Plane triangles may be classified either with reference to their sides or their angles. When classified with reference to their sides, there are two classes : (1) Scalene triangles, which have no two sides equal. (2) Isosceles triangles , which have two sides equal. The isosceles triangle has a particular case, called the equilateral triangle, all of whose sides are equal. When classified with reference to their angles, there are two classes : (1) Right-angled quadrantal, when one of its sides is equal triangles, which have one right angle. to 90°. Spherical triangles take the names, right-angled, obtuseangled, acuteangled, scalene, isosceles , and equilateral, in the same cases as plane triangles . Two spherical triangles are polar, when the angles of the one are supplements of the sides of the other, taken in the same order.
