Abstract
MANY of the early propositions in Euclid's First Book are reduced to actual measurements in this volume, and are thus brought within the ready grasp of the mind of the average boy. The book really teaches the rudiments of geometry and mensuration upon Fröbelian principles. Where the exercises it contains can be carried out, some of them will prove of educational value; but others are misleading.
