Σελίδα iv - The translator appeals to experience when he asserts, that not one in fifty of those who have gone through a course of instruction in drawing, can do more than copy such drawings as are placed before them.

It is to remedy this defective mode of teaching,...
Σελίδα 16 - Fig. 4. 12. The radius of a circle is a line drawn from the centre to the circumference ; as CB. Fig. 4. Therefore all radii of the same circle are equal. 13. The diameter of a circle is a right line drawn from one side of the circumference to the other, passing through the centre ; and it divides the circle into two equal parts, called semicircles ; as AB or DE.
Σελίδα 4 - If the angle be less than a right angle, it is called an acute angle ; if more, it is called an obtuse angle.

This cone will of course be right or oblique, according to the direction in relation to the plane of the paper of the line joining the optical centre with the centre of the circle of which the arc is a part.

Σελίδα 21 - A trapezoid has only two of its sides parallel ; as ABCD. (Fig. 4.) Any other four sided figure is called a trapezium. II. A figure which has more than four sides is called a polygon. A regular polygon has all its sides equal, and all its angles equal. III. The height of a triangle is the length of a perpendicular, drawn from one of the angles to the opposite side ; as CP. (Fig. 5.) The height of a four sided figure is the perpendicular distance between two of its parallel sides ; as CP.
