‎---- Cinquième édition AUGMENTEE D'UNE THEORIE DES OMBRES ET DE LA PERSPECTIVE EXTRAITE DES PAPIERS DE L'AUTEUR PAR M. BRISSON ---- TRES BEL EXEMPLAIRE ---- "The true creator of descriptive geometry". (DSB) ---- "G. MONGErevived the study of certain branches of geometry, and his work was the starting point for the remarkable flowering of that subject during the nineteeth century... MONGE's important contribution is known from his Géométrie descriptive. Monge should be considered the true creator of descriptive geometry, for it was he who elegantly and methodically converted the group of graphical procedures used by practitioners into a general uniform technique based on simple and rigorous geometric reasoning and methods. Within a few years this new discipline was being taught in french scientific and technical schools and had spread to several other continental countries...".
