Excerpt from A Course of Mathematics, Vol. 1 of 2: For the Use of Academies, as Well as Private Tuition

Asy this work has been composed expressly with the intcn tion of adapting it to the purposes of academical education, it is not designed to hold out the expectation of an entire new mass of inventions and discoveries but rather to collect and arrange the most useful known principles of mathematics, dis posed in a convenient practical form, demonstrated in a plain and concise way, and illustrated with suitable examples, re jeering whatever seemed to be matters of mere curiosity, and retaining only such parts and branches, as have a direct tenden cv and application to some useful purpose in life or profession.
