Book Description
Excerpt from A Text Book of Geometrical Drawing: For the Use of Mechanics and Schools, in Which the Definitions and Rules of Geometry Are Familiarly Explained, the Practical Problems Are Arranged From the Most Simple to the More Complex, and in Their Description Technicalities Are Avoided as Much as Pos Having been for several years engaged in teaching Architectural and Mechanical drawing, both in the High School of Baltimore and to private classes, I have endeavored without success, to procure a book that I could introduce as a text book; works on Geometry generally contain too much theory for the purpose, with an insufficient amount of practical problems; and books on Architecture and Machinery are mostly too voluminous and costly, containing much that is entirely unnecessary for the purpose. Under these circumstances, I collected most of the useful practical problems in geometry from a variety of sources, simplified them and drew them on cards for the use of the classes, arranging them from the most easy to the more difficult, thus leading the students gradually forward; this was followed by the drawing of plans, sections, elevations and details of Buildings and Machinery, then followed Isometrical drawing, and the course was closed by the study of Linear perspective and shadows; the whole being illustrated by a series of short lectures to the private classes. I have been so well pleased with the results of this method of instruction, that I have endeavored to adopt its general features in the arrangement of the following work. The problems in constructive geometry have been selected with a view to their practical application in the every-day business of the Engineer, Architect and Artizan, while at the same time they afford a good series of lessons to facilitate the knowledge and use of the instruments required in mechanical drawing. The definitions and explanations have been given in as plain and simple language as the subject will admit of; many persons will no doubt think them too simple. Had the book been intended for the use of persons versed in geometry, very many of the explanations might have been dispensed with, but it is intended chiefly to be used as a first book in geometrical drawing, by persons who have not had the benefit of a mathematical education, and who in a majority of cases, have not the time or inclination to study any complex matter, or what is the same thing, that which may appear so to them. And if used in schools,its detailed explanations, we believe, will save time to the teacher, by permitting the scholar to obtain for himself much information that he would otherwise require to have explained to him. But it is also intended to be used for self-instruction, without the aid of a teacher, to whom the student might refer for explanation of any difficulty; under these circumstances I do not believe an explanation can be couched in too simple language.

Book Description
Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

Excerpt from A Text Book of Geometrical Drawing: For the Use of Mechanics and Schools, in Which the Definitions and Rules of Geometry Are Familiarly Explained, the Practical Problems Are Arranged From the Most Simple to the More Complex, and in Their Description Technicalities Are Avoided as Much as Pos The size of the work has imperceptibly increased far beyond my original design, which was to get it up in a cheap form with illustrations on wood, and to contain about two-thirds of the number in the present volume, but on examining some specimens of mathematical diagrams executed on wood, I was dissatisfied with their want of neatness, particularly as but few students aim to excel their copy. On determining to use steel illustrations I deemed it advisable to extend its scope until it has attained its present bulk, and even now I feel more disposed to increase than to curtail it, as it contains but few examples either in Architecture or Machinery. I trust, however, that the objector to its size will find it to contain but little that is absolutely useless to a student.
