The author has chosen for the title of this work "Theory of Engineering Drawing," believing that it indicates better than could any other, the ultimate purpose of the book. The subject matter is a treatise on descriptive geometry. A novel feature in the treatment is the order of presentation. Definitions and the theory of point and line projection are left for presentation until the fifth chapter. Chapters I to IV inclusive are devoted to oblique, orthographic and axonometric projection. The author arouses the student's interest and gives him a better grasp of the subject by presenting to him some concrete objects projected in these various ways. The treatment of the theoretical portion is very elaborate in detail and the illustrations are particularly clear. The initial paragraphs under each topic are numbered in a way to facilitate cross references and assignments. Numerous questions and problems are at the end of each chapter. The work is a notable addition to those on descriptive geometry.
