""Elements of Descriptive Geometry"" is a comprehensive guide to the fundamental principles and concepts of descriptive geometry, written by John B. Millar and originally published in 1878. The book is designed to provide students and professionals in architecture, engineering, and other related fields with a thorough understanding of the principles of projection, perspective, and geometric construction. The text is divided into chapters that cover topics such as the properties of lines and planes, the principles of orthographic projection, the construction of various types of curves, and the principles of perspective drawing. The book features numerous illustrations and diagrams to help readers visualize the concepts being discussed, and includes a series of exercises and problems to help readers practice their skills. With its clear and concise explanations and practical approach, ""Elements of Descriptive Geometry"" remains a valuable resource for anyone looking to develop a strong foundation in this important field of study.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

Rese�a del editor

The difficulties which hinder beginners I have found to be chiefly of two kinds. One of these arises from the want of sufficient knowledge of solid geometry; the study of projections, as a practical subject, is begun too commonly before the student has made himself acquainted with the geometrical principles on which the solutions of the problems depend. To begin in that way is, I think, to make a mistake; for, without a knowledge of first principles, it is impossible to get such a grasp of the subject as will make it the useful and effective instrument which it ought to be. I have, therefore, considered it best to devote the first chapter to some theorems on the straight line and plane, and to introduce occasional theorems in the other parts of the work; my object being to establish the principles before giving their applications.
