This edition of the Elements of Euclid undertaken at the request of the principals of some of the leading Colleges and Schools of Ireland is intended to supply a want much felt by teachers at the present day the production of a work which while giving the unrivalled original in all its integrity would also contain the modern conceptions and developments of the portion of Geometry over which the Elements extend A cursory examination of the work will show that the Editor has gone much further in this latter direction than any of his predecessors for it will be found to contain not only more actual matter than is given in any of theirs with which he is acquainted but also much of a special character which is not given so far as he is aware in any former work on the subject The great extension of geometrical methods in recent times has made such a work a necessity for the student to enable him not only to read with advantage but even to understand those mathematical writings of modern times which require an accurate knowledge of Elementary Geometry and to which it is in reality the best introduction img src https s3 eu west 1 amazonaws com dia kitadagitim ckeditor_assets pictures 53 content_1_original_original jpg alt height 15 width 15 font size 1 color white font img
