Originally published in 1911, this practical textbook of exercises
was primarily aimed at school students and was intended to provide
an accessible yet challenging 'informal course' on solid geometry
for classwork, homework and revision. The book is divided into
three principal sections: chapters 1-6 discuss the main properties
of lines and planes, chapters 7-13 examine properties of the
principal solid figures, including mensuration, whilst chapters
14-16 consider coordinates in three dimensions, plan, elevation and
perspective, also known as descriptive geometry. The book covers
key theorems, whilst cataloguing useful geometry questions focused
on developing a broad understanding of the subject. Intended as
educational rather than technical material and a practical,
systematic supplement to school lessons, this book will be of great
value to scholars of mathematics as well as to anyone with an
interest in the history of education.
