IN preparing this New Edition of Doctor Hutton's COURSE OF MATHEMATICS, the editor has endeavoured to accommodate the work to the present state of science without altogether departing from the original plan. Considerable alterations, and it is hoped, improvements, have been made in the different sections; the treatises upon Algebra, Conic Sections, Spherical Geometry, Analytical Plane, and Spherical Trigonometry, the introductions to Analytical Geometry and to the first principles of the Differential and the Integral Calculus, have been entirely re-written.

The chapters upon Algebra and Analytical Geometry have been derived chiefly from the admirable treatises of M. Bourdon, and much of what has been said on the Integral Calculus is extracted from the celebrated work of M. Francœur on Pure Mathematics.
