Elementary Geometry

Abstract

THIS is a very small book and a very good one. Its object is to teach geometry to boys without hindering and wearying them with metaphysical subtleties, or requiring them to express the proofs of propositions with that pedantic recitation of details—that parody of logical accuracy—which has long been identified with the study of Euclid.

Elementary Geometry.

By W. C. Fletcher, Head Master of the Liverpool Institute; late Fellow of St. John's College, Cambridge. Pp. 80. (London: Edward Arnold, n.d.) Price 1s. 6d.
