Euclid's Parallel Postulate: Its Nature, Validity and Place in Geometrical Systemsby John William Withers - Open Court Publishing Co. , 1904
The parallel postulate is the only distinctive characteristic of Euclid. To pronounce upon its validity and general philosophical significance without endeavoring to know what Non-Euclideans have done would be an inexcusable blunder ...

Non-Euclidean Geometry: A Critical and Historical Study of its Developmentby Roberto Bonola - Open Court Publishing Company , 1912
Examines various attempts to prove Euclid's parallel postulate - by the Greeks, Arabs and Renaissance mathematicians. It considers forerunners and founders such as Saccheri, Lambert, Legendre, Gauss, Schweikart, Taurinus, J. Bolyai and Lobachewsky.

Hyperbolic Geometryby J.W. Cannon, W.J. Floyd, R. Kenyon, W.R. Parry - MSRI , 1997
These notes are intended as a relatively quick introduction to hyperbolic geometry. They review the wonderful history of non-Euclidean geometry. They develop a number of the properties that are particularly important in topology and group theory.
