Excerpt from The Elements of Geometry
IN the revision of the author's work on plane and solid geometry, many important improvements have been effected.
With a class just commencing the study of Geometry, too much emphasis cannot be laid on the form in which an oral or written demonstration should be presented.
The beginner requires a certain amount of practice before he can acquire the art of putting a proof in a clear and logical 'form.
To give this drill, the author has, through the whole of Book directly after each step in the proof the full statement of the reason, in smaller type, enclosed in brackets.
