Abstract
As a considerable part of your number of February 23 is devoted to comments on a little publication just issued by me, “The Essentials of Geometry,” I must request you in courtesy to insert these lines in order to set right one misconception. “The Reviewer” (p. 323) passes certain criticisms on the definitions and enunciations, as well as demonstrations, of the book, describing the former as having salient incongruities, and the latter as being nonsense. These are strong expressions, but my present purpose is not to expose the fallacy of the remarks in the review, but to point out the fact noticed in the preface, and overlooked by the reviewer, that all the proofs in the work are taken from French and German sources (p. viii.)
