Excerpt from Plane and Solid Geometry
During the two thousand years since the time of Euclid, geometry has been studied by all civilized peoples and has been enriched from time to time by their mathematicians. This history is so long and the details are so technical that it is unwise to attempt to give more of it at this time.
