It is impossible to over estimate the importance of a knowledge of Geometry, forming as it does. The basis of all the mechanical and decorative arts; and therefore the first volume of a Technical Series has been devoted to this subject, from which, as from' one common highway, branches may diverge, adapted to the various industrial arts.
