This book is intended to be an introduction to elementarygeometry. It aims to make clear by illustrations, definitions, and exercises the exact meaning of the straight line, parallel lines, axial and central symmetry, loci of points, equal figures, equivalent figures, similar figures, and measurements of lines, surfaces, and solids. It aims also to make the learner familiar with the most important theorems, and to teach him to draw, with instruments and free-hand, accurate figures both plane and solid. The pupil who begins the study of any of the common textbooks in geometry with a clear knowledge of the subject matter of this book, and with skill in drawing geometric figures will have a great advantage over the pupil who begins the study without such knowledge and skill; for he can then give his whole attention to the processes of abstract reasoning employed in the demonstrations of propositions. We acknowledge our indebtedness toD r. Francis K. Ball of Phillips Exeter A cademy, who has read all the proof sheets, and given us the benefit of his criticisms. A box of drawing instruments can be had of the publishers at a moderate price. The student should also have a small Tsquare and a block of paper. G. A. WENTWORTH. G. A. HILL. A pril, 1901.
