Jackson.— GEOMETRICAL CONIC SECTIONS. An Ele- 

 mentary Treatise in which the Conic Sections are denned as the 

 Plane Sections of a Cone, and treated by the Method of Projections. 

 By J. Stuart Jackson, M. A , late Fellow of Gonville and Caius 

 College. Crown Svo. 4s. 6d. 



This work has been written with a view to give the student the beriefit 

 of the Method of Project ions as applied to the Ellipse and Hyper- 

 bola. When this method is admitted into the treatment of Conk 

 Sections there are many reasons why they should be defined, not 

 with reference to the focus and directrix, but according to the 

 original definition from which they have their name, as Plane 

 Sections of a Cone. Tliis method is calculated to produce a material 

 simplification in the treatment of these curves and to make the proof 

 of their properties more easily understood in the first instance and 

 more easily remembered. It is also a powerful instrument in the 

 solution of a large class of problems relating to these curves.
