Page 236 - To the many of my fellow-teachers in America who have questioned me in regard to the Non-Euclidean Geometry, I would now wish to say publicly that Dr. Smith's conception of that profound advance in pure science is entirely sound. . . . Dr. Smith has given us a book of which our country can be proud. I think it the duty of every teacher of geometry to examine it carefully."— From Prof.

University of Ohio, of Pennsylvania, of Michigan, of Wisconsin, of Kansas, of California, of Missouri, Stanford University, etc., etc. "Those acquainted with Mr. Smith's text-books on conic sections and solid geometry will form a high expectation of this work, and we do not think they will be disappointed. Its style is clear and neat, it gives alternative proofs of most of the fundamental theorems, and abounds in practical hints, among which we may notice those on the resolution of expressions...

Page 97 - S'-A'B'C' be two triangular pyramids having equivalent bases situated in the same plane, and equal altitudes. To prove that S-ABC =c= S'-A'B'C'. Proof. Divide the altitude into n equal parts, and through the points of division pass planes parallel to the plane of the bases, forming the sections DEF, GHI, etc., D'E'F', G'H'I', etc. In the pyramids S-ABC and S'-A'B'C' inscribe prisms whose upper bases are the sections DEF, GHI, etc., D'E'F', G'H'I', etc.
