Meetkundig Schoolboek

A compact yet thorough guide to school‑level geometry, this nineteenth‑century workbook was crafted to complement a practical arithmetic text and to serve three distinct groups of learners. It presents the essential principles of plane and solid geometry without formal proofs, supplying plenty of exercises that let students apply each theorem directly. By drawing on the widely used concepts of Lacroix, the author ensures the material feels familiar to teachers while still offering fresh examples tailored to the Dutch classroom.

Beyond the familiar shapes—triangles, circles, prisms, and cylinders—the book includes clear explanations of the symbols that govern arithmetic operations, linking them to geometric calculations. Its carefully revised second edition aims to minimise printing errors and to meet the practical needs expressed by educators across the country. Listeners will discover a snapshot of mid‑1800s pedagogy, where clear instruction and purposeful practice were prized above abstract reasoning, making the text both a historical curiosity and a usable resource for anyone interested in the foundations of geometry education.
