Excerpt from Solutions of Examples in Conic Sections: Treated Geometrically I have frequently received requests for a book of Solutions of the Examples in my treatise on Conic Sections, but have never been able to find time to prepare them. Mr Archer Green, B.A., Scholar of Christ's College, volunteered to undertake the task, with the aid of my notes and his own, and, with the exception of a few at the end, wrote out the solutions entirely. Mr Green was however prevented by illness from completing the revision of the proofs, and I am much indebted to Sir J. Greaves, Fellow of Christ's College, who kindly undertook to examine the rest of the sheets. The book will, I hope, prove useful both to students and teachers, as a companion volume to the treatise on Conic Sections.
