Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Lectures on the Geometry of Position, Vol. 1
It has been my aim to present in fair readable English the geometric ideas contained in the text, rather than to hold myself, at all points, to a literal translation yet I trust that I have not alto gether destroyed the charm of the original writing. Some changes have been made; the articles have been numbered, the examples set at the end of the lectures to which they are related and a few new ones added, explanatory notes have been inserted where they seemed necessary or helpful, and an index has been compiled. I have not deemed it advisable to omit from this edition any part of the original prefaces or introduction, even though, at this distance from their first publication, they might not be demanded in their entirety.
