First Edition in English. xxiii, 310 pp; 252 figs; ads. Original cloth. Top and bottom of spine frayed. Inner hinges cracked. Else a Very Good copy. 'The third area to which Cremona contributed was that of projective geometry; in fact, this discipline pervades all his work. Birational transformations arose from the concept of a curve and its projection onto another plane, and graphic statics makes extensive use of projective techniques. It is true that Cremona made no startling discoveries in this area; but he did derive many properties of projectively related figures. As an organizer and popularizer of those areas of mathematics in which he did his work, Cremona had few peers. His works may still be read with profit and enjoyment' (D.S.B. III: 469). Copy of George W. Sawin (1887); later Josiah Royce; and later Mary F. Curtis (1916), with the signature of each on the half-title.
