Excerpt from Geometry in Modern Life: Being the Substance of Two Lectures on Useful Geometry, Given Before the Literary Society at Eton The two separate views of Education in Science, which are expressed in these pages, will I doubt not be entirely approved by the experienced teachers to whose pupils they are addressed. Geometry, as a pure Science, gives logical training, is a discipline of thought, is an instrument of human culture, and has high educational value. But Geometry is equally the development of a method pervading Nature, its mastery gives Man a power to govern Matter. The training, which enables him to comprehend the mechanism of the universe, enables him also to make creations of his own in harmony with those greater designs of which his own are but a small portion.
