Excerpt from A Treatise on Algebra The following work is designed for the use of the higher classes of Schools and the junior students in the Universities. Although the book is complete in itself, in the sense that it begins at the beginning, it is expected that students who use it will have previously read some more elementary work on Algebra: the simpler parts of the subject are therefore treated somewhat briefly. I have ventured to make one important change from the usual order adopted in English text-books on Algebra, namely by considering some of the tests of the conver geney of infinite series before making any use of such series: this change will, I feel sure, be generally approved. The order in which the different chapters of the book may be read is, however, to a great extent optional.

Excerpt from Treatise on Algebra The first edition of my Algebra was received with unex pected favor. Almost immediately after its publication, it was adopted as a text-book in half a dozen colleges, besides nu morons academies and schools; and the most flattering testi monials were received from every part of the country. I have thus been stimulated to increased exertions to render it less unworthy of public favor. Every line of it has been sub jected to a thorough revision. The work has been read by two successive classes in the University, and wherever im provement seemed practicable, alterations have been freely made. I have also availed myself of the suggestions of sev eral professors in other colleges. This edition will accord ingly be found to differ considerably from the preceding. Alc terations, more or less important, have been made on nearly every page. Among these may be mentioned the addition of Continued Fractions, the Extraction of the Roots of Numbers, Elimination by means of the Greatest Common Divisor, and a large collection of Miscellaneous Examples.
