SOME PRESS OPINIONS 



"It is the completest work on Algebra that has yet come before us, 

 and in lucidity of exposition it is second to none. The author views 

 his subject from the high ground of the educationist, without reference 

 to the exigencies of established examinations ; yet neither the candidates 

 who are training for such nor the teachers who prepare them will act 

 wisely if they neglect his lessons." — Atheitcewn. 



" The explanations are admirably clear, and the arrangement 

 appears to be a very good one. No teacher of the higher classes in 

 our schools or of students preparing for the University examinations 

 should be without this book. There is nothing like it in English, and 

 it forms an excellent introduction to the various applications of Algebra 

 to the higher analysis." — Academy. 



" A work of singular ability and freshness of treatment. It is not a 

 book for elementary classes, but it will be an excellent work to put into 

 the hands of some of our sixth-form pupils." — Nature.
