Synopsis
Excerpt from The Elements of Euclid: For the Use of Schools and Colleges In preparing a new edition of the late Dr. Todhunter's Euclid, the following are the principal alterations and additions that I have made: (1) The text of the Propositions has been simplified and shortened. A sparing use has been made of symbols in the place of constantly recurring words. Some of the proofs (e.g. II. 13) have been altered in accordance with modern usage, but this has always been done subject to the regulations at present in force in the Universities of Oxford and Cambridge. (2) Considerable trouble has been taken to arrange the book so that, with very few exceptions, each Proposition is commenced on a fresh page, and may be read by the student without his turning over a leaf. (3) The proofs of Book V. have been much shortened. To them, and also to the proofs of Book II., the corresponding algebraic formulae have been added. (4) The more important of Dr. Todhunter's Notes have been appended to the Propositions to which they refer. (5) The total number of Exercises has been doubled. (6) The easier of the Exercises in the previous edition, and a large number of additional ones, have been classified and follow, in the Text, the Propositions on which they depend.
