[Please see my five images of the actual book.] From the Introduction: "The subject of non-euclidean geometry has been discovered, or at least partially so, on several distinct occasions, but it is always associated with the names of Lobachevskij and Bolyai Janos whose first works on the subject appeared about 1830. The subject did not really begin to be studied seriously, however, until about 1870, when Houel's French translations of their somewhat inaccessible memoirs appeared. § The study of space of higher dimensions begins about the same time, for, except for a few scattered references in Kant and Leibniz, there is no explicit mention of the subject until Cayley's classical paper of 1843, and it did not become to any extent a subject of study until 35 years later. It now proves a most fertile field of research. § The object [here] is to produce as far as possible a complete repository of the titles of all works from the earliest times up to the present which deal with the extended conception of space, and to form a guide to the literature in an easily accessible form." As with every book from my father's collection, tipped-in at the front is the small, attractive, acid-free bookplate pictured on my homepage.
