By GARRETT C. PIER 
27 pages of text, 23 plates (3 colored), royal 8vo, cloth; net $4.00, postpaid $4.15 
N the belief that the relics of antiquity preserved in private cabinets should be made 
available to all students of art and archaeology, the author in this handsome work 
presents the first instalment of an elaborate descriptive catalogue of the Egyptian antiquities | 
in his own collection. The material is, as far as possible, arranged chronologically, and 
comprises relics of the earliest period of Egyptian history. In the plates are figured stone 
implements; amulets in ivory, bone, slate, etc.; some remarkable and unique specimens 
of Eighteenth Dynasty inlaid glazes (colored plates); and a very complete collection of 
historical scarab seals, glazed rings, and plaques.

pik the first time the subject of beds and couches in classical antiquity has here been 
treated exhaustively, on the basis of protracted and detailed first-hand study of the 
material collected in the various European museums. A thoroughly scholarly treatise, it 
yet is of interest not only to archaeologists, philologists, and students of Greek and Latin 
literature, but to collectors, designers, and manufacturers of furniture as well. ‘Typographi- 
cally the volume presents a highly attractive appearance.

First-Year Mathematics for Secondary Schools 
[To be issued in February] 
By G. W. MYERS, Professor of the Teaching of Mathematics and Astronomy 
in the College of Education of the University of Chicago, with the collabo- 
ration of members of the Mathematical Faculty of the University High School

N the conviction that present methods of teaching mathematics in secondary schools 
are open to serious objections, the authors in this book present a scheme which prac- 
tical application “in ‘their own classes has proved to possess marked advantages. A fun- 
damental part of this plan is a correlation of the different mathematical subjects with one 
another, organizing the material around an algebraic core, and the permeation of the teach- 
ing with matters bearing upon the life-interests of the students.
