'The investigations of Cayley and Sylvester [to whom the work is dedicated] into the invariants of quantics were 



beginning to attract attention ; and Salmon proceeded to apply their results to geometrical theory, the result being 



Lessons Introductory to the Modern Higher Algebra, in which he incorporated much original matter.'— i?p. Bernard. 



' No account of contemporary writings on higher algebra would be complete without a reference to the admirable text' 



books by G. Salmon, in his Higher Algebra, and by J. A. Serret. in his Cours d'algebre superieure [>/. v. post], in which the 



chief discoveries of their respective authors are embodied.' — W. W. R. Ball.

' Admirably arranged, and constructed with an unerring sense of the distinction between important principles and 

 mere details, it exhibited more fully than any other book of the time at once the power of the Cartesian co-ordinates and 

 the beauty of geometrical method ; and for lialf a century it was the leading text-book on its subject.'— iip. Bernard.

' Embodying the chief discoveries of its author.'— H^ W. R. Ball. 



' A subject of which little was then known, and which was introduced to the ordinary student by Salmon's labours.' — 

 Bp. Bernard. 



' Salmon helped powerfully towards the spreading of a knowledge of the new algebraic and geometric methods by the 

 publication of an excellent series of text-books.' — Prof. Cajori. 



' Upon these four treatises his fame as a mathematician rests. . . . Salmon's methods made little use of the calculus, 

 or of the quaternion analysis invented by his contemporary. Sir W. R. Hamilton ; nor, again, did he ever handle the 

 non-Euclidean geometry. His strength lay in his complete mastery of geometric and algebraic processes, and this, 

 coupled with his indefatigable industry as a calculator, enabled him to produce original work of permanent value.'— 

 Bp. Bernard. 



The always striking fellowship of theology and mathematics has seldom had a greater example than in Dr. Salmon, 

 and the weight it lent him was a source of strength to the Irish Church throughout the throes of disestablishment 

 and reconstruction.

THE engraver's DOOM:

14659 — -— A Large Paper Copy, roy. 8vo. cl., IO5 



This is the public announcement of the doom of the engraver on copper, steel, and wood, though the sentence was not 

 executed for many years afterwards. It contains a copy of the Patent Specification (dated June 12th, 1S41) of Edward 

 Palmer, for 'Improvements in producing Printing Surfaces, and in printing China, Pottery Ware, Music, Maps, and 

 Portraits,' being the invention of glyphography (a process for producing woodcut-like plates by electrotype), of which 

 Sampson's account gives a description. From it sprang in time the whole fell tribe of Process Blocks, which have starved 

 out a beautiful art, and made each new and pushful publisher a terror to the tasteful.
