Abstract
THIS little book contains a series of elementary exercises in geometry based on the method of allowing the pupil to deduce as many principles as possible after, and from the results of, experiments or exercises dependent on them. The deductions are drawn from the pupil's own measurements of his drawings to scale of the usual geometrical figures. From this it will be understood that the book really consists of a series of graduated exercises which appear to be well chosen and arranged, and likely to prove suggestive to teachers and useful to students beginning their first studies of the subject.
