The Works in this Series of CAMBRIDGE CLASS-BOOKS FOR THE USE OF SCHOOLS AND COLLEGES, which have been issued at intervals during the last ten years, are intended to embrace all branches of Education, from the most Elementary to the most Advanced, and to keep pace with the latest discoveries in Science. Of those hitherto published the large and ever increasing sale is a sufficient indication of the manner in which they have been appreciated by the public. A SERIES of a more Elementary character is in course of publication, a list of which will be found on page 2 of this Catalogue. 2000 : ELEMENTARY SCHOOL CLASS BOOKS.

BARNARD SMITH, M.A. The first edition of this work was published in 1854. It was primarily intended for the use of students at the Universities, and for Schools which prepare for the Universities. It has however been found to meet the requirements of a much larger class, and is now extensively used in Schools and Colleges both at home and in the Colonies. It has also been found of great service for students preparing for the MIDDLE-CLASS and CIVIL AND MILITARY SERVICE EXAMINATIONS, from the care that has been taken to elucidate the principles of all the Rules. Testimony of its excellence has been borne by some of the highest practical and theoretical authorities; of which the follow 3.

The Examples are well selected and worked out with just sufficient detail without being encumbered by too minute explanations; and there prevails throughout it that just proportion of theory and practice, which is the crowning excellence of an elementary work." 2.

WORKS by ISAAC TODHUNTER, M.A. F.R.S. Fellow and Principal Mathematical Lecturer of St. John's College, Cambridge. 1. Algebra. For the Use of Colleges and Schools. This work contains all the propositions which are usually included in elementary treatises on Algebra, and a large number of Examples for Exercise. The author has sought to render the work easily intelligible to students without impairing the accuracy of the demonstrations, or contracting the limits of the subject. The Examples have been selected with a view to illustrate every part of the subject, and as the number of them is about Sixteen hundred and fifty, it is hoped they will supply ample exercise for the student. Each set of Examples has been carefully arranged, commencing with very simple exercises, and proceeding gradually to those which are less obvious. 3. Spherical Trigonometry. For the Use of Colleges and Schools. 132 pp. Crown 8vo. Second Edit. enlarged. (1863). 4s. 6d. This work is constructed on the same plan as the Treatise on Plane Trigonometry, to which it is intended as a sequel. Considerable labour has been expended on the text in order to render it comprehensive and accurate, and the Examples, which have been chiefly selected from University and College Papers, have all been carefully verified. The Elements of Euclid AND 384 pp. 18mo. bound. (1862). 3s. 6d. As the Elements of Euclid are usually placed in the hands of young students, it 2.

No method appears to be so useful as that of breaking up the demonstrations into their constituent parts, and this plan has been adopted in the The design of this work has been to ren- present edition.
