With the exception of some recreational mathematics books of Gabriel Arnoux from the 1890's and 1900's, one of which was about affine planes over fields of prime order, this is the first book devoted to finite geometry ever published. In its 51 pages, it consists of the text of six lectures at Calcutta University from 1940. The third, fourth, fifth and sixth lectures are on projective planes (being on field planes, Desarguesian planes, non-Desarguesian planes and Moufang planes, respectively); graphs and balanced incomplete block designs have been introduced in the first lecture and there is a little combinatorial topology in the second. Levi was to profoundly influence the Indian school of statisticians.
