Containing an Easy Introduction to Modern Geometry, with Numerous Examples (1888 / 1892)

Fellow of the Royal University of Ireland; Member of the Council of the Royal Irish Academy
Fifth Edition, Revised and Enlarged — Hodges, Figgis, & Co., Dublin; Longmans, Green, & Co., London, 1888 (pp. i–xviii, 1–251; 276 folios)
