has most to apprehend, and which have 

 hitherto, in every age, more or less, car- 

 ried on hostilities against him. The pow- 

 er of some creatures is greater, but their 

 tempers are less ferocious, and they exer- 

 cise their strength, not in acts of aggres- 

 sion, but only in those of retaliation ; and 

 others, while they are inexpressibly more 

 numerous, are, at the same time, desti- 

 tute of any formidable powers of annoy- 

 ance, and fly from the sight of man with 

 the greatest rapidity and alarm. But be- 

 tween man and the feline tribe a contest 

 for dominion is kept up over extensive 

 regions of the globe, many of them high- 

 ly ornamented and productive, and calcu- 

 lated to become the abodes of harmony 

 and civilization. 



FELLOWSHIP, or Company, in arith- 

 metic, is when two or more join their 

 stocks and trade together, dividing their 

 gain or loss proportionably. 



Fellowship is either with or without 

 time. Questions without time, or in the 

 single rule of fellowship, as it is frequent- 

 ly called, are wrought by the following 

 proportion. 



As the whole stock to the whole gain or 

 loss, so is each man's particular stock to 

 his particular share of gain or loss. 



Suppose three partners, A, B, and C, 

 make a joint stock in this manner: A, puts 

 in 241. ; B, 321, ; and C, 30Z. : in all 961. ; 

 with which they trade, and gain 121. ; re- 

 quired each man's true share of that gain? 

 The first operation for A's part of the 

 gain will stand thus : 



L. L. L. L. 



96 : 12 :: 24 : 3 = A's gain. 

 96 : 12 :: 32 : 4 = B's gain. 

 96 ; 12 :: 40 : 4 = C's gain. 



Proof, 3^. -f 41. + SI. + 121. the whole 

 gain. 



That is, if the total of all their particu- 

 lar gains amounts to the whole gain, the 

 work is true ; if not, some mistake has 

 been committed. 



FELLOWSHIP -with time, usually called 

 the Double Rule of Fellowship^ because 

 every man's money is to be considered 

 with relation to the time of its continu- 

 ance in the joint stock. It is worked thus: 

 multiply each man's stock by the respec- 

 tive time he puts it in for, and add all the 

 products, the total of which must be your 

 first number through all the statings ; the 

 gain or loss the second, as before, and 

 each man's particular stock, multiplied 

 by its time, the third. 



Note, the times and sums, (if not so 

 given) must be reduced into one denomi- 

 nation, /. e. all years, all months, all weeks, 

 or all days, &.c. 



Ex. Three merchants, A, B, and C, en- 

 ter into partnership thus : A puts into the 

 stock 651. for eight months ; B puts in 

 781. for twelve months : and C puts in 841. 

 for six months : with this joint stock they 

 traffic, and gain 166/. 12s. : it is required 

 to find each man's share of the gain pro- 

 portionable to his stock and time of emf 

 ploying it. 



L. 



1. A's stock, 65 x 



2. B's stock, 78 x 



3. C's stock, 84 x 



8 months, the time it was employed = 520 



12 months, the time it was employed = 936 



6 months, the time it was employed = 504 



The sum of all those products is 1900 



Then, the several proportions will stand thus : 



1960 : 166,6 :: 520 : 44, 2 = 44 4 for A's share. 

 1960 166,6 :: 936 : 79,56 = 79 11 2 for B's share. 

 1960 : 166,6 :: 504 : 42,84 = 42 16 9^ for C's share. 



The whole gain = L. 166 12 



FELO de se, in law, one who is felon of 

 himself, i. e. being of sound memory, and 

 of the age of discretion, or 14 years, kills 

 himself. All his chattels, real and per- 



sonal, are forfeited to the crown, when it 

 is found by the Coroner that he is felo de 

 se,- a will, therefore, made by him, is void 

 as to his personal estate, but not as to his
