Excerpt from Elements of Geometry
Geometry had its origin, as the name indicates, in the need of a method for the accurate description of limited portions of the Earth's surface.
At the present time the development of the science is such as to include a vast amount of material which is beyond the scope of a book devoted to the consideration of elementary forms in such space as that in which we live and exercise our senses.

The large number of Geometries recently published is an indication of the fact that, so far as Geometry is concerned, there is an unsatisfied want inH igh Schools, A cademies, and Colleges. It is in the hope of supplying this need that the book here presented has been written. Effort has been made so to frame the definitions that they will not have to be changed when the student comes to the higher reaches of the subject, or when he advances to other branches of mathematics. Effort has been made to injbroduce new material when needed, and not before; to appeal to the understanding; to discourage mere memorizing; and to avoid entering into confusing details. Corollaries and scholia have been in large part replaced by exercises, every one of which the student must work out as he comes to them.
