=N.S.W. Educational Gazette:= "The most complete and logical discussion of this part of the works of the great geometer that we have seen. An unusual amount of care has been bestowed on the initiatory stages, the definitions, axioms, and postulates being treated with commendable fulness.... The brevity, simplicity, and perspicuity of his methods will appeal forcibly to students.... Mr. Maclardy adheres to the plan of simplifying the proofs and reducing the verbiage to a minimum, and has added a contribution to mathematical literature which we regard as indispensable."

=Victorian Educational Gazette:= "Among the legion of editions of Euclid, Mr. Maclardy's takes an honourable place. There are many features that are the result of the author's long experience as a lecturer and examiner in mathematics. He has evidently taken a pride in making his work as perfect as possible."
