 SCIENTIFIC LIBRARY 



FOR THE USE OF 



SCHOOLS, PRIVATE STUDENTS, ARTISTS, 



AND MECHANICS. 



It is the purpose of this Work to furnish a Series of Ele- 

 mentary Treatises on Mathematical Science, adapted to the 

 wants of the public at 1 -e. To youth of either sex at public 

 and private schools ; to persons whose education has been 

 neglected, or whose attention has not been directed in early 

 life to such studies ; and to Artist! and Mechanic*, the!* little 

 works will be particularly suited. The principles of the various 

 Sciences are rendered as familiar and brought as near to our 

 commonest ideas as possible ; the demonstrations of proposi- 

 tions are made plain for the mind and brief for the memory, 

 and the Elements of each Science are reduced not only to their 

 simplest but to their shortest form.

EXTRACT FROM PREFACE. 



In this new and enlarged Edition, the A uthor ha* followed 

 very nearly the method recommended by the celebrated Pro- 

 fessor De Candolle, than whom no man i .titled to more 

 aeterence, whether we consider the so mdness of his judgment 

 in all that relates to order and ar nt, or the great ex. 



penenee which a long and most <uc*essful career of public in- 

 struction has necessarily gi n him. F
