Abstract
THE models are six in number. They are intended to show a line (1) by its projections, (2) by its traces; the inclination of an oblique plane (3) to the vertical plane, (4) to the horizontal plane; and to determine the angle (5) between two intersecting lines (6) between two planes. They are accompanied by hints for fixing and studying the models, and with a useful list of problems suggested as exercises for students. The clearness of the explanations, the simplicity of the constructive apparatus, and the compactness of the arrangements (all being contained in a handy cardboard box) commend Mr. Jones's work to students of solid geometry.
