Excerpt from Solid Geometry

While rigorous proofs have claimed first attention, still every effort has been made to bring the proofs within the comprehension of students who read the subject for the first time. Woodcuts are employed to illustrate the definitions, and are placed by the side of the ordinary figures used in demonstrations. It is expected that these woodcuts will be of great value in helping the student to gain clear conceptions of the figures and to cultivate a correct geometrical imagination.

Book IX, Conic Sections, has been carefully revised, and new figures have been substituted for the old ones.

The excellent cuts of the Solid Geometry are largely due to Miss M. Gertrude Cross, of Boston, Mass.
