Greek Geometry from Thales to Euclid (Classic Reprint)

Paper, the several parts of which appeared inH ermathena during the last eleven years. The favourable reception which from the first it met with on the part of many competent authorities, as well in this country as on the Continent, and the desire which has been expressed in several quarters that the Articles should be collected and published in a volume, have led to this publication. I have prefixed headings to the chapters, and introduced some additional diagrams. I have also added some notes and an index. Some changes, too, were necessitated by the new form of theW ork; and I have made a few corrections, which are indicated for the most part by brackets. With these exceptions the book is textually the same as the Paper inH ermathena. In this Paper great pains were taken to ensure accuracy in the references :these I have since checked, and I trust that they will now be found quite reliable.
