Excerpt from Elements of Geometry: Containing the First Six Books of Euclid, With Two Books on the Geometry of Solids; To Which Are Added, Elements of Plane and Spherical Trigonometry
Thus much for the part of the Elements that treats of Plane Figures. With refpeé't to the Geo metry of Solids, I have departed from euclid al together, with a view of rendering it both {hort er and more comprehenfive. This, however, is not attempted by introducing a mode of reafon ing loofer or lefs rigorous than that of the Greek geometer; for this would be to pay too dear even for the time that might thereby be faved but it is done chiefly by laying afide a certain rule.
