Elementary Synthetic Geometry of the Point, Line and Circle in the PlaneElementary Synthetic Geometry of the Point, Line and Circle in the Plane by Nathan Fellowes Dupuis, first published in 1889, is a rare manuscript, the original residing in one of the great libraries of the world. This book is a reproduction of that original, which has been scanned and cleaned by state-of-the-art publishing tools for better readability and enhanced appreciation.
