Abstract
I AGREE with Mr. Piaggio that projective geometry is a pleasant and suitable subject of study for arts students, especially women, who are reading for honours with a view of entering the teaching profession. But for such students a single text-book written by an eminent pure mathematician would be better than the present array of books, the authors of many of which have not added much to our knowledge of mathematical science. Further, Mr. Piaggio forgets that these arts candidates are not the students who want their calculus so early; indeed, they flourished and prospered as well thirty years ago, taking their calculus late, as to-day, perhaps better.
