Book excerpt: Excerpt from Geometrical Drawing and Design A course of geometrical drawing or practical geometry pro vides a valuable preliminary training for SO many handicrafts and professions that it must be regarded as essential to all students whose work is to be adapted to modern requirements. The Engineer, the Architect, the Soldier, and the Statistician, all have recourse to the assistance of practical geometry to solve their problems or to explain their methods. Every day the graphic treatment Of subjects is finding its application in new directions; and to be able to delineate the proportions of any scheme places in the hand an invaluable tool for the execution of work of practical value. The Author's complete geometrical course has now for some time been widely used for the advanced parts of the subject, such as Projection, Section and Interpenetration of Solids. Hence the publication of its simpler parts as an introduction to Design would seem likely to meet with favour. The geometrical basis of ornamentation is the rational one, though youth and fancy might condemn it as a chaining of Pegasus and the curbing of imagination. It is no doubt the height Of art to conceal the scheme of treatment and delight the eye with novel suggestions of development. But underlying all is the demand Of Nature for order and rhythm, such as can be Obtained by a study of geometrical figures and designs.
