John Wesley Young co-authored with Oswald Veblen the first monograph on projective geometry in English. That careful and thorough axiomatic treatment remains read today.

This volume is Young's attempt to write an accessible and intuitive treatment for non-specialists. The first five chapters are a careful and elementary treatment of the subject culminating in the theorems of Pascal and Brianchon and the polar system of a conic. Later chapters pull metric consequences from projective results and consider the Kleinian classification of geometries by their groups of transformations. This book, nearly a century after its initial publication, remains a very approachable and understandable treatment of the subject.
