Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Elements of Geometry and Mensuration: With Easy Exercises, Designed for Schools and Adult Classes, in Three Parts; Part I. Geometry as a Science; Part II. Geometry as an Art; Part III. Geometry Combined With Arithmetic (Mensuration)
On a late public occasion, at the inauguration of one of these Schools, the Duke of Argyll remarked that a very large proportion of the works of art preparing for the Crystal Palace are being executed almost entirely by foreign artists, and that our manufacturers also have been obliged to send abroad for designs; and, as he was convinced that there was no natural disqualification in our population for such work, he hated that the defect would be remedied by the adoption of a more complete system of education.
