Sinopse:
Plane Geometry opens with a clean progression from Introduction to Book I, Rectilinear Figures, then moves through The Circle, Proportion and Similar Polygons, Areas of Polygons, and finally Regular Polygons and Circles, so the reader is led from basic form to more connected geometric reasoning. That structure makes the book feel like a carefully staged classroom path, not just a loose collection of problems.
The contents show a textbook built around triangles, parallel lines, quadrilaterals, polygons, loci, and a substantial split between theorems and problems. The appendix adds symmetry, maxima and minima, recreations, applications of geometry, and even a history of geometry, which gives the volume a broader and more practical scope than a simple drill book.
This is a formal school geometry text by George Wentworth and David Eugene Smith, with clear emphasis on proof, sequence, and exercises. Readers get a disciplined introduction to plane geometry, plus enough variety in the later sections to support both classroom use and independent study.
