Excerpt from Metrical Geometry: An Elementary Treatise on Mensuration This book is primarily the outcome of work on the subject while teaching it to large classes. The competent critic may recognize signs of a Berlin residence; but a considerable part, it is believed, is entirely new. Special mention must be made of the book's indebtedness to Dr. J. W. Davis, a classmate with me at Columbia School of Mines; also to Prof. G. A. Wentworth, who has kindly looked over the proofs. But if the book be found especially accurate, this is due to the pains taking care of my friend H. B. Fine, Fellow of Princeton. Any corrections or suggestions relating to the work will be thank fully received. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
