The scarce first edition and the first announcement in bookform of the author's ""Theory of Screws"". ""The Theory presented in the following paper was first sketched by the author in a Paper..to the Royal Irish Academy (1871). The entire theory has been re-written and systematically arranged, in the present volume."" Through the next 30 years Ball elaborated his theory based on Non-Euclidean conceptions. He dealt with a four-dimensional space in the biased language of Euclidean geometry, the ""content"" of space was elliptic.
