Bonola's Non-Euclidean Geometry is an elementary historical and critical study of the development of that subject. Based upon his article in Enriques' collection of Monographs on Questions of Elementary Geometry, in its final form it still retains its elementary character, and only in the last chapter is a knowledge of more advanced mathematics required. - Translator's preface.
