Hermann Schubert's popular essays on magic squares, hyperspace, circle-squaring and the philosophy of mathematics, translated by Thomas J. McCormack and published in Chicago by Open Court in 1898 for general readers. Line diagrams of numbered points, intersecting triangles and projective configurations sit alongside a line-engraved copy of Dürer's Melencolia I with its magic square.
