Abstract
THIS is a second edition, revised and enlarged, of a very good book for those who are beginning the study of geometry. Much stress is laid all through on the construction and careful drawing of the figures, and great pains seem to have been taken by the author to make his meaning as clear as possible by means of simple examples, thereby inducing the reader not to learn the propositions by heart.
First Lessons in Geometry. For the Use of Technical, Middle, and High Schools.
By B. Hanumanta Rau (Vepery: Printed at the S.P.C.K. Press, 1888.)
