ABSTRACT THIS is, in our opinion, the best elementary Algebra for school use. It is the combined work of two teachers who have had considerable experience of actual school teaching, aided by


the advice of such men. as the present Head of Clifton College, and so successfully grapples with difficulties which our present text-books in use, from their authors lacking such


experience, ignore or slightly touch upon. Up to the point to which the subject is carried in this volume, it is treated with sufficient completeness for ordinary school purposes: the last


four chapters present a somewhat concise account of ratio, proportion, and the progressions, which, however, covers enough ground for the ordinary examinations which schoolboys have to


encounter. The authors propose to treat these parts in fuller detail in a Higher Algebra, which they are preparing. We do not propose to examine the book at any length, but confidently


recommend it to mathematical teachers, who, we feel sure, will find it the best book of its kind for teaching purposes. Many subjects of interest are also treated of, and a vast collection


of (3500) examples will furnish ample exercise for the boys, and save the teacher the trouble of concocting illustrations of the best methods. Answers are furnished at the end, so that those


teachers who do not care that their pupils should have them handy, may have them sewn up. Elementary Algebra for Schools. By H. S. Hall S. R. Knight (Macmillan, 1885.) Access through your
