Discusses breaking up fractions of the form 2/(2n + 1) into a sum of two to four fractions with unity in the numerator. The author believes that he has discovered new points of view more in accordance with the methods of the Rhind papyrus. See criticisms of this work by Hultsch (1895). Compare Collignon (1881).
