Inhaltsangabe

Excerpt from The Normal Elementary Geometry

If, now, we remove the book from before us, we can still imagine the space which it filled to be in the form of a book. This Space, of course, will not be a material thing like the book, but it will have form and extent the same as the book had. Such definite portions of space, their forms and extent, are the things considered in Geometry.

Progress in education is symbolized in the multiplication and improvement of text-books. They are showered upon us like the flowers of spring-time, until a new text-book is no longer a novelty. To-day the author sends forth this little volume on what it is hoped may be a mission of usefulness. It comes modestly claiming a welcome from the public as an addition to our educational literature, and in support of such claim the following statement of its object and peculiarities is presented.

Our text-books upon Geometry, though well adapted to our higher institutions, are, for a large class of schools, both too voluminous and difficult. In many of our Academies, Seminaries, High and Normal Schools, the time allotted to Geometry is too brief to allow the pupil to complete more than four or five books of the ordinary text-book: in consequence of which, all of that most important and practical part treating of the measurement of the surface and volume of prisms, pyramids, cylinders, cones, and spheres, must be omitted. To supply this defect and enable the pupil to acquire a fuller knowledge of the subject, the present volume has been written.

General Features. - In its adaptation to the class of pupils designated, this work is characterized by four general features.
