Excerpt from Geometry in Space: Containing Parts of Euclid's Eleventh and Twelfth Books; And Some Properties of Polyhedra and Solids of Revolution, With Exercises

Respecting the range and amount of matter that should be included in a treatise designed to give an introduction to the purely geometrical treatment of figures in space, the Editor has had diffi culty in coming to a decision; and he would put forward what is here given as, to a considerable extent, tentative. Thus, for example, it was originally intended that there should be a separate chapter on Surface Spherics; but, on reﬂection, it appeared dubious whether such a chapter would not be a 'game not worth the candle - adding to the expense of the book, and not really wanted.

The consideration of these figures is therefore barely touched on, in a few Definitions and Exercises.
