Excerpt from Hints for the Solution of Problems in the Third Edition of Solid GeometryMr. Chree, Mr. Berry, and Mr. Richmond have shewn no discontinuity in their kindness, for they have not only corrected the proof sheets, but have detected important errors in the problems, as in LX. (7) (mr. Berry), and in LVIII. (3) (mr. Richmond) the geometrical solutions of LII. (1) and LXIV. (9) were given by Mr. Berry~ and Mr. Richmond. I wish to thank Mr. Chree especially for his superintendence of the printing during my absence in the Long Vacation, and I am glad to have this opportunity of noticing a great improvement on the last two lines of my solution of XLIII.

Excerpt from A Treatise on Solid GeometryIn the more difficult portions of the subject, they have considered themselves to be addressing a higher class of students, and here they have tried to lay a good foundation on which to build, if any of their readers should wish to pursue their studies in any department of the science, beyond the limits to which the work extends.The authors would willingly have given references to all the writers from whom they have derived information in the course of their work, but they have found this to be impossible, and they regret it the less, because it will not be supposed that they lay claim to every thing in which they have made no reference. They have, however, in a very large number of cases mentioned the names of eminent men, who have advanced the boundaries of the subject, and they hope it will be apparent, that they have appreciated the labours of such men as Cayley, Salmon, McCullagh, Roberts and Townsend; at all events they are sensible that, in many departments,- the treatise lately published by Salmon on the same subject proves how far their own work is from being perfect.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.
