1 Having a good knowledge of chemistry, Croll brought into use many of the medicaments of Paracelsus, together with 

 other new preparations ; among the latter, he was the first to recommend the use of sulphate of potash (K 2 04) and of 

 volatile salt of amber (succinic acid).' Prof. E. v. Meyer.

THE NEW EDITION JUST PUBLISHED AT 1. 10* NETT : 



15633 MORGAN (Augustus de ; F.R.A.S., Prof. Mathematics, Univ. Coll., London] A BUDGET of 

 PARADOXES, revised and edited with full BIBLIOGRAPHICAL NOTES and INDEX by DAVID EUGENE 

 SMITH, Teachers' College, Columbia University, 2 vols. 8vo. (pp. 1000), cl. Chicago, 1915 



One of the most interesting and witty books ever written, and invaluable for its history and bibliography of some 

 scientific fallacies, e.g. ' circle-squaring '. It contains besides a large number of anecdotes, etc. on mathematical and 

 scientific subjects. 'He had a love of puns, and all ingenious puzzles and paradoxes, which makes his 'Budget of 

 Paradoxes ' as amusing as it is learned.' Sir Leslie Stephen. 



' It is by far the most individual book of the age individual, not merely in its own singularity as a book, but as 

 presenting with a marked degree of clearness and exactness the personality of one who was never quite a man among 

 other men. ... To sum up, this is a book that should be read by those who care about circle squarers and all manner of 

 jokes, mathematical and other ; by those who care to make the acquaintance of Augustus de Morgan, which it is 

 well worth while to do ; but above all by those who care to be led into right thinking and warned from wrong.' Prof. 

 W. K. Clifford. 



The work is now rendered additionally valuable by the bibliographical notes and index by Prof. D. E. Smith. The 

 original edition has been out of print for many years, and is very scarce.

 1 Quoique le geometre et astronome portugais Nonius n'ait pas ecrit de traite de gnomonique, il merite ici une place

The work also contains an exposure of the errors in Finams's dialling, etc. The author is best known as the inventor
