Abstract
THIS volume of the “Organised Science Series” has been specially compiled to meet the requirements of the Board of Education's syllabus in perspective, and covers the ground of both sections A and B of that svllabus with their direct and inverse problems. The method of treatment adopted by the author is one likely to be very effective in teaching; new principles and processes, as they arise in the natural development of the subject, are illustrated and driven home by the use of models, diagrams, and repeated applications to suitable problems, so that the conscientious student is always fully conversant with the reasons for his geometrical constructions. The very excellent and suggestive questions from the examination papers of the Board of Education for the last five or six years are freely employed, both in the text and as sample test papers, affording a good criterion of progress.
