Synopsis

Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

Présentation de l'éditeur

The present work on Projective Geometry has been written as a companion volume to my former treatise on Homogeneous Coordinates. It deals, from a geometrical point of view, with those subjects wliich, in the former volume, were treated analytically. In writing the book I have kept in view the needs of students reading for honours at the Universities and of pupils specialising in Mathematics at theS econdary Schools. I have assumed on the part of the reader a competent knowledge of theM odern Geometry of the Triangle and Circle, and also of Geometrical Conies; but for the sake of clearness and precision 1have quoted the main results drawn from these subjects in black type ivithout proof, and have given references, when necessary, where demonstrations may be found. In this way a good deal of ground has been covered, and the book has not been made too long. On the other hand, no attempt has been made to treat of Homography and I nvolution, as I feel that the student requires a fairly complete account of them before he can make any use of them as instruments of geometrical investigation, and such detailed treatment would have increased the size of the book unduly.
