MACMILLAN AND CO.'S

DESCRIPTIVE CATALOGUE OF

CAMBRIDGE CLASS BOOKS.

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.

ELEMENTARY SCHOOL CLASS BOOKS.

The volumes of this Series of ELEMENTARY SCHOOL CLASS Books are handsomely printed in a form that, it is hoped, will assist the young student as much as clearness of type and distinctness of arrangement can effect. They are published at a moderate price to ensure an extensive sale in the Schools of the United Kingdom and the Colonies.

ing Solutions to all the Questions in the latest Edition. Crown 8vo. cloth. 392 pp. Second Edit. 88. 6d. To meet a widely expressed wish, the ARITHMETIC was published separately from the larger work in 1854, with so much alteration as was necessary to make it quite independent of the ALGEBRA. It has now a very large sale in all classes of Schools at home and in the Colonies. A copious collection of Examples, under each rule, has been embodied in the work in a systematic order, and a Collection of Miscellaneous Papers in all branches of Arithmetic is appended to the book.

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. Testi-
mony of its excellence has been borne by
some of the highest practical and theo-
retical authorities; of which the follow-4.
ing from the late DEAN PEACOCK may
be taken as a specimen :

"Mr. Smith's Work is a most useful publication. The Rules are stated with great clearness. 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 crown

CAMBRIDGE CLASS BOOKS

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. Third Edition. 542 pp. (1862). Strongly bound in cloth. 78. 6d. 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

Edition. (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.
