13. Question 11
In one respect this book is an experiment, and may chance to prove a failure: I mean
that I have not thought it necessary to maintain throughout the gravity of style which
scientific writers usually affect, and which has somehow come to be regarded as an
inseparable accident of scientific teaching. I never could quite see the reasonableness of
this immemorial law: subjects there are, no doubt, which are in their essence too serious
to admit of any lightness of treatment but I cannot recognise Geometry as one of them.
Nevertheless it will, I trust, be found that I have permitted myself a glimpse of the comic
side of things only at fitting seasons, when the tired reader might well crave a moments
breathing-space, and not on any occasion where it could endanger the continuity of the
line of argument.
Where you will find these difficult to read (as it is displayed
in a fish-eye view) words as a part of the quote from Euclid
and his Modern Rivals by Lewis Carroll?
