books.gif Casey, John. A Sequel to the First Six Books of the Elements of Euclid, Containing an Easy Introduction to Modern Geometry with Numerous Examples, 5th ed., rev. enl. Dublin: Hodges, Figgis, and Co., 1888. 251 p. According to Johnson, a useful supplementary chapter appearing in the 5th ed. was omitted from the 6th, making the 5th ed. the most interesting. It is a classic almost on a par with Johnson.

books.gif Casey, John. A Treatise on the Analytical Geometry of the Point, Line, Circle, and Conic Sections, Containing an Account of Its Most Recent Extensions with Numerous Examples, 2nd rev. enl. ed. Dublin: Hodges, Figgis, and Co., 1893. 564 p. A classic.

books.gif Coolidge, Julian Lowell. A Treatise on the Geometry of the Circle and Sphere. New York: Chelsea, 1971. 602 p. Fact-filled book, despite the author's evident arrogance as illustrated by the following footnotes. ``See [Casey's] greatly overrated Sequal to Euclid, London 1881, p. 101. The ingenious writer makes two characteristic mistakes.'' (p. 37). ``Casey, Analytic Geometry of the Point, Line, Circle, and Conic Sections, Dublin 13, a brilliant but untrustworthy book'' (p. 114). $39.

books.gif Coxeter, Harold Scott Macdonald and Greitzer, Samuel L. Geometry Revisited. Washington, DC: Math. Assoc. Amer. 193 p. Wonderful information-rich book containing many results which hard to find in any other modern books. $18.95.
