“This book is divided into two parts. In the first part, for beginners, the various drawing instruments in common use are described, and a series of exercises is given to illustrate the use of each of the instruments. The rest of this section is devoted to examples in simple projection, to intersections, of solids, and development of surfaces. Part 2, for more advanced students, comprises problems in descriptive geometry, isometric projection, oblique projection, shadows, and perspective work, and concludes with a series of problems.”—Nature.
“Its mechanical make-up is unusually neat.”
