ADVERTISEMENT. October 3 189. THE design, in making this Compilation, is to collect suitable exercises to be performed by the Classes at the private Lectures on Mathematics, given in the University. The view, which the CORPORATION had of the great advantages, that the Students might derive from a judicious work of the kind, produced this attempt to promote their improvement. The parts of the most approved writings, selected for the purpose, are copied, with only such alterations, as appeared to be useful. The Authors of the principal part of most of the branches are. Dr. HUTTON and Mr. BONNYCASTLE; the Navigation is principally from that of Mr. NICHOLSON; and much use has been made of a Manuscript, containing certain mathematical exercises to be performed by the Students, MOLE'S Algebra, the Works of EMERSON, CRAKELT'S translation of MAUDUIT's Treatise on Spheric Triganomety, and KELLY's Spherics. |
