Practical Geometry: A Course of Construction of Plane Geometrical Figures (Classic Reprint)

The collection of Practical Geometry, here presented to the public, was first brought together for the use of students in training for A rt-M asterships, in connexion with theS cience and Art Department; the method of teaching adopted being that of Lecture, with the drawings made on theB lack Board by the teacher; the students making notes at the time, and afterwards making careful drawings with the necessary written descriptions. The superiority of this method of teaching, over that of placing sheets of geometric figures with printed descriptions before a student, and allowing him to copy both, need not be enlarged upon here 5to extend this method of oral teaching is the principal object sought to be promoted by the publication of the course.
