Permit me to call jour attention to a work which I have lately published. It is 



ELEMENTARY TREATISE ON DESCRIPTIVE GEOMETRY," 



BY SAMUEL SCHOOLER, M.A., 



Principal of Edge-Hill School, Caroline, Va. 



This work has been prepared with much care, and it is hoped that it will 

 supply a want long existing in our Schools and Academies. 



With the view of showing you what is thought of the particular work in 

 question, by some of the most experienced Teachers and eminent men in the 

 country, I beg leave to offer for your perusal, the following 



RECOMMENDATIONS. 



From W. H. C. BARTLETT, L.L.D., Prof, of 



Natural and Experimental Philosopby at the U. 



S. Military Academy, West Point. 



My Dear Sir: — 1 have had the pleasure to 

 receive your beautiful vohime on Descriptive 

 Geometry. Your work is ^well conceived, and 

 admirably carried out in the execution of its 

 plan ; and as a specimen of typography and 

 drawing, is unsin-passed by anything that I have 

 seen. The attractive form in which you have 

 presented this most useful branch of Mathe- 

 matics will. I trust, accelerate its general adop- 

 tion into our course of common school instruc- 

 tion. Its study is one of the most profitable 

 means of mental discipline, and an indispensa- 

 l)le preparation to every successful Architect, 

 Machinist and Civil Engineer. 



mendation for the very handsome and generous 

 way in which the work is gotten up. 



From D. H. MAHAN, M.A., Professor of Engi- 

 neering in the U. S. Military Academy, West 

 Point. 



Dear Sir : — I have looked over your work, and 

 am very much pleased with the arrangement of 

 the subjects, and the clear, concise manner in 

 which you have presented each point. 



From ALBERT E. CHURCH, M.A., Professor of 

 Mathematics in the U. S. Military Academy, 

 West Point. 



My Dear Sir: — I have examined your work 

 with great interest and pleasure. The detailed 

 explanations of all the elementary principles of 

 this useful branch of mathematics are so lucid, 

 and the illustrations so beautiful and correctly 

 drawn, that, with this book in his hand, I do not 

 see that any pupil, familiar with the elements of 

 Geometry, can find difficulty in acquiring a 

 knowledge of the fundamental principles of 

 Descriptive Geometry. The work does yovi 

 great credit. 



From F. H. SMITH, M.A., Prof, of Nat. Philoso- 

 phy in the University of Va. 

 I can say, without hesitation, that I think it 

 the best book I have seen, upon the subject, in 

 the English language. The system of symbols 

 you have adopted appears to me to be an admira- 

 ble improvement. Your publisher deserves com-
