Excerpt from Practical Geometry: A Course of Construction of Plane Geometrical Figures, for the Use of Art-Schools
Trade, require ready practical methods of constructing geometrical figures.
It is hoped also that the present collection may form a useful and ready book of reference to many who, in various branches of trade and manufacture, would be greatly advantaged by a knowledge of Practical Geo metry, especially of those portions which apply to the construction and combination of symmetrical figures.
It is proper at once to announce that the work is descriptive, not demonstrative; several years' experience having furnished ample proof, that although it is necessary that the students of our schools should know how to construct Plane Geometric figures, it is vain, as it is perhaps unnecessary, to hope that they will become mathematicians their want of preliminary training, and the amount of time necessary, rendering such a result an impossibility.
