This textbook commences with a brief sketch of the history of Elementary Geometry. The definitions throughout have been somewhat amplified, and several notes have been added which it is hoped may be found useful and suggestive. The subject of Ratio has been expanded; a few new propositions have been added; and there is a considerable collection of unsolved problems, with some numerical exercises. In the treatise on the Conic Sections the alterations are numerous, and at the close of each chapter is given a collection of numerical exercises. The treatise on Plane Trigonometry, although concise, is pretty complete, and this is followed by a Table of Logarithms and of Sines and Tangents for every minute of the quadrant.

1Boy Crusoe

By Allan Eric

Also published as" A Yankee Crusoe" . A 15 year old hard working and studious farm boy finds the lure of adventure on the seas as a merchant seaman more than he can resist. This is his story. " I was born in a little town in the State of Maine, near the close of the Civil War. My boyhood life did not differ materially from that of the average farmer's son in the remote country districts of New England--except, perhaps, that I read more and thought more. Hard work on the rugged soil, two terms each year in the little yellow country schoolhouse, a day's fishing now and then filled the early years of my life full to over-flowing. " What he gets is enough excitement and adventure to overflow his wildest dreams. How he experiences disaster and uses his wits and knowledge to overcome every problem makes for a great read. - Summary by Phil Chenevert
