 High School.

The object of this new course in mathematics is to do away 

 with the present artificial divisions of the subject and to give it 

 vital connection with the student's whole experience. The first 

 year of secondary work is devoted (i) to generalizing and extend- 

 ing arithmetical notions, (2) to following up the notions of men- 

 suration into their geometrical consequences, and (3) to recon- 

 noitering a broadly interesting and useful field of algebra. 



Geometric Exercises for Algebraic Solution, for Secondary Schools. 

 By George William Myers and the Instructors in Mathematics 

 in the University High School. 



90 pages, i2mo, cloth; net 75 cents, postpaid 82 cents 



This book supplies means for holding, through the second- 

 year geometry course, the ground made in algebra during the 

 first year. By the use of geometric problems to be algebraically 

 solved the course serves the threefold purpose (i) of keeping 

 algebraic procedure in continual use, (2) of holding the unity 

 of the geometrical course intact, and (3) of pointing out many 

 connecting by-ways of the two domains. 



Medico-Physical Works. By John Mayow, LL.D. , M.D. A lembic

John Mayow, a graduate of Oxford and a successful physician, 

 died in 1679 at the age of thirty-six. He was the author of five 

 treatises on chemical and physiological subjects, written in Latin: 



1 Nitrum and Nitro- Aerial III. On the Respiration of the Foetus 



Spirit 



Uterus 

 Muscular Motion 



II. On Respiration IV. On 



V. On Rickets 



Although several times reprinted, these attracted little atten- 

 tion until the discovery of oxygen, when it was found to the 

 astonishment of chemists, that the new chemistry which was 

 rapidly conquering the scientific world was to be found in these 

 old writings. They are here reprinted in English translation.
