Abstract
IN this work, Euclid's Books I.-IV., VI., and portions of V. and XL, are dealt with. The enunciations and axioms are the same as those in Simson's edition, but the propositions have received many minor alterations. Only the more common symbols are employed, and some of the propositions have been considerably shortened by the adoption of other proofs based on Euclid's methods. Each proposition is accompanied with examples and in many cases with notes.
Euclid's Elements of Geometry.
Arranged by A. G. Layng. (London: Blackie and Son, Ltd., 1890.)
