1 HE design, In making this Com- 

 pilation, IS to collect suitable exercises to be 

 performed by tbe Classes at the Private Lec- 

 tures on Mathematics, given in the Univer- 

 sity. The view, which the Corporation 

 had, of the great advantages, that the Students 

 xnight derive from a judicious work of the 

 kind, produced this attempt to promote their 

 improvement. The parts of the most ap- 

 proved writings, selected for the purpose, are 

 copied, with only such alterations, as appeared 

 to be useful. The Authors of most of the 

 b^arxhes are Dr. Hutton and Mr. Eonny- 

 CASILE ; the Navigation is principally from 

 that of Mr. Nicholson ; and considerable 

 use has been made of a Manuscript^ Mole's 

 Algebra^ and the Works of Emerson.
