AN ELEMENTARY TREATISE ON GEOMETRICAL DRAWING, WITH NUMEROUS EXAMPLES, Chiefly Selected from Army Examination Papers. BY THE REV. J. H. ROBSON, M.A., LL.D., LATE FOUNDATION SCHOLAR OF DOWNING COLLEGE, PREFACE. THIS Manual is intended primarily for the use of Students who are preparing for the Preliminary Examination for entrance to the Royal Military Academy at Woolwich, or to the Royal Military College at Sandhurst. In either case Geometrical Drawing is one of the compulsory subjects. But, apart from this special object, the Author's experience in tuition has convinced him that the subject deserves a place in the curriculum of studies in any good school. Exact drawing greatly facilitates the conception of geometrical methods, and frequently arouses, in the mind of a young student, an interest which merely scientific reasoning from rough diagrams fails to awaken.
