This book explores the modern geometry of points, lines, and circles, providing a solid foundation for understanding the fundamentals of this branch of mathematics. The author presents a systematic approach, assuming readers have basic knowledge of Euclidean geometry. The book covers various concepts, including the concept of double acceptance of geometrical terms, allowing magnitudes to be represented by numbers or letters, and the simultaneous determination of linear reciprocals. It also addresses the peculiarities of evanescent and infinite values of magnitudes. The author discusses the theory of maxima and minima, introducing the notions of extreme maximum and minimum values, the concept of positive and negative in geometry, and the use of the biliteral notation to indicate direction as well as magnitude. They explore the theory of the mean center of any system of points for any system of multiples, focusing on its importance in mechanics and highlighting instances where the mean center is indeterminate. Finally, the book examines topics such as complete and incomplete figures of points and lines, collinear and concurrent systems of points and lines, the theory of inverse points with respect to a circle, and the theory of poles and polars with respect to a circle, offering a comprehensive treatment of the subject.

Excerpt from Chapters on the Modern Geometry of the Point, Line, and Circle, Vol. 1: Being the Substance of Lectures Delivered in the University of Dublin to the Candidates for Honors of the First Year in Arts
The work now offered to the public contains, as its title indicates, the substance of lectures dc Iivered for some years in the University of Dublin to the candidates for mathematical honors of the first year in arts; and supposes, accordingly, a previous acquaintance only with the first six books of the Elements of Euclid, and with just that amount of the principles of Elementary Algebra essential to an intelligent conception of the nature of signs, and of the meaning and use of the ordi nary symbols of operation and quantity.

Excerpt from Chapters on the Modern Geometry of the Point, Line, and Circle, Vol. 1: Being the Substance of Lectures Delivered in the University of Dublin to the Candidates for Honors of the First Year in Arts
Though designed mainly for the instruction of students of the comparatively limited mathematical knowledge generally possessed at the transition from school to university life, and arranged with special reference to the existing course of mathematical instruction in the University of Dublin, the author has spared no pains to render the work as gene rally interesting and instructive as the extent of.
