Abstract
WITH the exception of a dozen theorems at the end, this book is a simple course of experimental geometry designed to familiarise young pupils with fundamental geometrical conceptions by setting them to draw with mathematical instruments and to construct simple models for measuring angles and constructing plans. The lessons are interesting, and arranged in a manner that shows the authors to be well acquainted with the needs and capabilities of beginners.
