Description
Fourth Dimension is a book by Hinton on higher space for general readers. Press notices quoted in front praise his aim to avoid mathematical subtleties in the argument. Readers not conversant with mathematics should be able to follow his reasoning, one says. A Notts Guardian notice calls the fourth dimension a subject of great fascination for teachers.
Much of the text discusses illustrations that are not included in this file, readers are warned. Hinton cubes, shadows, and analogies lead the mind from flatland toward fourfold space. His work fed both geometry talk and the mystic fourth dimension craze of the age. Curious readers gain the classic popular door into higher dimensions.
