This paper is to study theorems related with congruence of triangles in Lobachevskii's and Hadamard's geometry textbooks, and to compare their proof methods. We find out that Lobachevskii's geometry textbook contains 5 theorems of triangles' congruence, but doesn't explain congruence of right triangles. In Hadamard's geometry textbook description system of the theorems of triangles' congruence is similar with our mathematics textbook. Hadamard's geometry textbook treat 3 theorems of triangles' congruence, and 2 theorems of right triangles' congruence. But in Hadamard's geometry textbook all theorems are proved.
