    About this ebook

    This early work on spherical trigonometry is both expensive and hard to find in its first edition. It contains a comprehensive account of the subject and includes numerous examples and exercises. This is a fascinating work and highly recommended for anyone interested in learning spherical trigonometry. Many of the earliest books, particularly those dating back to the 1900s and before, are now extremely scarce. We are republishing these classic works in affordable, high quality, modern editions, using the original text and artwork.
