Abstract
IN this work a departure is made from the general order of the propositions adopted by most geometrical writers “so as to bring the argument into closer agreement with that found in analytical text-books, in order that both methods may be studied side by side.” Instead of a series of detached propositions, the authors have made a continuous treatise, and by this means have been able to deal with some of the more important points more fully than they otherwise could have done.
