Abstract
WE have here the completion of a work which in its first instalment (Books I. and II.) has already won a considerable amount of favourable notice from teachers. The “end” has “crowned the work” in a similar satisfactory manner; and, without entering into any “odious” comparisons with recent like editions, we consider this to be abreast of the best. Great attention has been paid to the arrangement and composition of the text, and the difficulties which delay beginners have been carefully smoothed and explained. The ordinary proofs have been adhered to as much as possible, and, in the words of the preface, “changes have been adopted only where the old text has-been generally found a cause of difficulty.”
A Text-book of Euclid's Elements for the Use of Schools.
Parts I. and II., containing Books I.–VI. By H. S. Hall F. H. Stevens (London: Macmillan, 1888.)
