Not illustrated. 1831 Excerpt: ...of this is one. Subtract now the one, which was excepted from the legacy; the remaining legacy then is seven; subtracting this from the one-third of the capital, there remain six. Add this to the two-thirds of the capital, namely, to the twenty-six parts, the sum is thirty-two; which, when distributed among the four sons, yields eight for each of them. If he leaves three sons and a daughter, and bequeaths to some person as much as the share of a daughter, and to another one-fifth and one-sixth of what remains of two-sevenths of the capital after the deduction of the first legacy; then this legacy is to be taken out of two-sevenths of the capital. Subtract from two-sevenths the share of the daughter: there remain two sevenths of the capital less that share. Deduct from this the second legacy, which comprises (79) one-fifth and one-sixth of this remainder: there remain one-seventh and four-fifteenths of one-seventh of the capital less nineteen-thirtieths of the share. Add to this the other five-sevenths of the capital: then you have six-sevenths and four-fifteenths of one-seventh of the capital less nineteen thirtieths of the share, equal to seven shares. Reduce this, by removing the nineteen thirtieths, and adding them to the seven shares: then you have six-sevenths and four-fifteenths of one-seventh of capital, equal to seven shares and nineteen-thirtieths. Complete your capital by adding to every thing that you have eleven ninety-fourths of the same; thus the capital will be equal to eight shares and ninety-nine one hundred and eighty-eighths. Assume now the capital to be one thousand six hundred and three; then the share of the daughter is one hundred and eightyeight. Take two-sevenths of the capital; that is, four hundred and fifty-eight. Subtract from t...
