”I am sure you will soon be obliged to prepare a Second Edition. I have ordered fifty copies more of the Euclid (this makes 250 copies for the French College). They all like the book here.”
From the Nottingham Guardian.
”The edition of the First Six Books of Euclid by Dr. John Casey is a particularly useful and able work.…The illustrative exercises and problems are exceedingly numerous, and have been selected with great care. Dr. Casey has done an undoubted service to teachers in preparing an edition of Euclid adapted to the development of the Geometry of the present day.”
From the Leeds Mercury.
”There is a simplicity and neatness of style in the solution of the problems which will be of great assistance to the students in mastering them.…At the end of each proposition there is an examination paper upon it, with deductions and other propositions, by means of which the student is at once enabled to test himself whether he has fully grasped the principles involved.…Dr. Casey brings at once the student face to face with the difficulties to be encountered, and trains him, stage by stage, to solve them.”
From the Practical Teacher.
”The preface states that this book ‘is intended to supply a want much felt by Teachers at the present day–the production of a work which, while giving the unrivalled original in all its integrity, would also contain the modern conceptions and developments of the portion of Geometry over which the elements extend.’
”The book is all, and more than all, it professes to be.…The propositions suggested are such as will be found to have most important applications, and the methods of proof are both simple and elegant. We know no book which, within so moderate a compass, puts the student in possession of such valuable results.
”The exercises left for solution are such as will repay patient study, and those whose solution are given in the book itself will suggest the methods by which the others are to be demonstrated. We recommend everyone who wants good exercises in Geometry to get the book, and study it for themselves.”
