WORKS OF S. EDWARD WARREN, O.E., 



PEOFESSOE OF DESCRIPTIVE GEOMETRY, ETC., IN THE RENSSELAER POLYTECHNIC INSTI- 

 TUTE, TROY, N. Y. 



CONSTRUCTIVE GEOMETRY AND INDUSTRIAL DRAWING. 



Tins following works, published successively since I860, have been well received by all the scientific and literary 

 periodicals, and are in use in most of the Engineering and " Scientific Schools " of the country ; and the elementary 

 ones in many of the higher preparatory schools. 



The Author, by his long unbroken connection with the Institute at Troy, has enjoyed facilities for the prepara- 

 tion of his works which entitle them to favorable consideration. 



I.-ELEMENTARY WORKS. 



These are designed and composed with great care; primarily for the nae of all higJier public and private 

 schools, in training students for subsequent professional study in the Engineering and Scientific Schools ; then, 

 provisionally, for the use of the latter institutions, until preparatory training shall, as is very desirable, more generally 

 include their use ; and, finally, for the self-instruction of Teachers, Artisans, Builders, etc. 



1. PLANE PROBLEMS IN ELE- 

 MENTARY GEOMETRY, OR 

 PROBLEMS ON THE ELE- 

 MENTARY CONIC SECTIONS. 



The Point, Straight Line, and Circle. In 

 two divisions. Division I., Preliminary or 

 Instrumental Problems. Division II., Geo- 

 metrical Problems. 12mo, cloth 



2. DRAFTING INSTRUMENTS 

 AND OPERATIONS. Containing 

 full and minute information about all the in- 

 struments and materials used by the drafts- 

 man, with full directions for their use. 

 Division I. Instruments and Materials. 

 Division II. Elementary Exercises in the 

 Use of Drafting Instruments, and Repre- 

 sentation of Stone, Wood, Iron, etc. Divi- 

 sion III. Practical Exercises on Objects of 

 two Dimensions (Pavements, Masonry, 

 Fronts, etc.). Division IV. Elementary 

 Esthetics of Geometrical Drawing. Ono 

 vol. 12mo, cloth 



3. ELEMENTARY PROJECTION 

 DIl AAV I NO. Third edition, revised and 

 enlarged. In five divisions. I. Projections 

 of Common Solids and their Intersections.

 Constructions. III. Elementary Shadows 

 and Shading. IV. Isometrical and Cabi- 

 net Projections (Mechanical Perspective). 

 V. Elementary Structures. This and the 

 last rolume are especially valuable, to all 

 Mechanical Artisans, and are particularly 

 recommended for the use of all higher pub- 

 lic and private schools. 12mo, cloth $1 60 



4. ELEMENTARY LINEAR 

 PERSPECTIVE OF FORMS 

 AND SHADOWS. Part I. Primitive 

 Methods,with an Introduction. Part II. De- 

 rivative Methods, with Notes on Aerial Per- 

 spective, and many Practical Examples. 

 This volume is complete in itself, and differs 

 from most, if not all, other elementary 

 works in clearly demonstrating the prin- 

 ciples on which the practical rules of per- 

 spective are based, without including such 

 complex problems as are usually found in 

 higher works on perspective. It is de- 

 signed especially for Young Ladies 1 Semi- 

 naries, Artists, and Schools of Design, as 

 well as for the institutions above mentioned. 

 One vol. 12mo, cloth 100 



M.-HIGHER WORKS. 



These are designed principally for Schools of Engineering and Architecture, and for tho members generally o( 

 those professions. 



GENERAL PROBLEMS OF

 TIONS. Being a quite extended col- 

 lection of the elementary and higher prob- 

 lems of Descriptive Geometry, and the 

 foundation coarse for the subsequent theo-

 eloth, numerous large plates
