Fourth

This work contains all the propositions which are usually included in elementary treatises on Algebra, and a large number of Examples for Exercise. The author has sought to render the work easily intelligible to students without impairing the accuracy of the demonstrations, or contracting the limits of the subject. The Examples have been selected with a view to illustrate every part of the subject, and as the number of them is about Sixteen hundred and fifty, it is hoped they will supply ample exercise for the student. Each set of Examples has been carefully arranged, commencing with very simple exercises, and proceeding gradually to those which are less obvious.

PLANE

TRIGONOMETRY.

For Schools and Colleges.

Third Edition. Crown 8vo. cloth, 5s.

The design of this work has been to render the subject intelligible to beginners, and at the same time to afford the student the opportunity of obtaining all the information which he will require on this branch of Mathematics. Each chapter is followed by a set of Examples; those which are entitled Miscellaneous Examples, together with a few in some of the other sets, may be advantageously reserved by the student for exercise after he has made some progress in the subject. In the Second Edition the hints for the solution of the Examples have been considerably increased.

- A TREATISE ON SPHERICAL Second Edition, enlarged.

TRIGONOMETRY.

Crown 8vo. cloth, 4s. 6d.

This work is constructed on the same plan as the Treatise on Plane Trigo
nometry, to which it is intended as a sequel. Considerable labour has
been expended on the text in order to render it comprehensive and ac-
curate, and the Examples, which have been chiefly selected from Uni-
versity and College Papers, have all been carefully verified.

College. Crown 8vo. cloth, 8s. 6d.

CONTENTS: Geometry (Euclid).-Algebra.-Plane Trigonometry.-Conic Sections, Geometrical.-Conic Sections, Analytical.-Theory of Equations. -Differential Calculus.-Integral Calculus.-Solid Geometry -Statics.Dynamics, Elementary.-Newton.-Dynamics of a Point.-Dynamics of a Rigid Body.-Hydrostatics.-Geometrical Optics.-Spherical Trigonometry and Plane Astronomy.

In each subject the order of the Text-Books in general use in the University of Cambridge has been followed, and to some extent the questions have been arranged in order of difficulty. The collection will be found to be unusually copious in problems in the earlier subjects, by which it is designed to make the work useful to mathematical students, not only in the Universities, but in the higher classes of public schools.

SCIENCE.

GEIKIE.-ELEMENTARY LESSONS in PHYSICAL GEOLOGY. By ARCHIBALD GEIKIE, F.R.S., Director of the Geological Survey of Scotland.

[Preparing. HUXLEY.-LESSONS in ELEMENTARY PHYSIOLOGY. With numerous Illustrations. By T. H. HUXLEY, F.R.S., Professor of Natural History in the Royal School of Mines. Fifth Thousand. 18mo. cloth, 4s. 6d.

"It is a very small book, but pure gold throughout. There is not a waste sentence, or a superfluous word, and yet it is all clear as daylight. It exacts close attention from the reader, but the attention will be repaid by a real acquisition of knowledge. And though the book is so small, it manages to touch on some of the very highest problems. . . . . The whole book shows how true it is that the most elementary instruction is best given by the highest masters in any science."-Guardian.

"The very best descriptions and explanations of the principles of human physiology which have yet been written by an Englishman.”—Saturday Review.

OLIVER.-LESSONS IN ELEMENTARY BOTANY. With nearly Two Hundred Illustrations. By DANIEL OLIVER, F.R.S., F.L.S. Third Thousand. 18mo. cloth, 4s. 6d.

"The manner is most fascinating, and if it does not succeed in making this division of science interesting to every one, we do not think anything can. Nearly 200 well executed woodcuts are scattered through the text, and a valuable and copious index completes a volume which we cannot praise too highly, and which we trust all our botanical readers, young and old, will possess themselves of."-Popular Science Review.

"To this system we now wish to direct the attention of teachers, feeling
satisfied that by some such course alone can any substantial knowledge of
plants be conveyed with certainty to young men educated as the mass of
our medical students have been. We know of no work so well suited to
direct the botanical pupil's efforts as that of Professor Oliver's, who, with
views so practical and with great knowledge too, can write so accurately
and clearly."-Natural History Review.

"It is very simple, but truly scientific, and written with such a clearness
which shows Professor Oliver to be a master of exposition. . .
No one
could have thought that so much thoroughly correct botany could have
been so simply and happily taught in one volume."-American Journal
of Science and Arts.

ROSCOE.-LESSONS in ELEMENTARY CHEMISTRY, Inorganic and Organic. By HENRY ROSCOE, F.R.S., Professor of Chemistry in Owen's College, Manchester. With numerous Illustrations and Chromo-Litho. of the Solar Spectra. Seventh Thousand. 18mo. cloth, 4s. 6d.

It has been the endeavour of the author to arrange the most important facts and principles of Modern Chemistry in a plain but concise and scientific form, suited to the present requirements of elementary instruction. For the purpose of facilitating the attainment of exactitude in the knowledge of the subject, a series of exercises and questions upon the lessons have been added. The metric system of weights and measures, and the centigrade thermometric scale, are used throughout the work.

"A small, compact, carefully elaborated and well arranged manual."Spectator.

"It has no rival in its field, and it can scarcely fail to take its place as the text-book at all schools where chemistry is now studied."-Chemical News. "We regard Dr. Roscoe's as being by far the best book from which a student can obtain a sound and accurate knowledge of the facts and principles of rudimentary chemistry."-The Veterinarian.

MISCELLANEOUS.

ATLAS of EUROPE.

GLOBE EDITION. Uniform in size with Macmillan's Globe Series, containing 48 Coloured Maps, on the same scale Plans of London and Paris, and a copious Index, strongly bound in half-morocco, with flexible back. 95.

NOTICE. This Atlas includes all the Countries of Europe in a Series of
Forty-eight Maps, drawn on the same scale, with an Alphabetical Index to
the situation of more than 10,000 Places; and the relation of the various
Maps and Countries to each other is defined in a general Key-Map.
The identity of scale in all the Maps facilitates the comparison of extent and
distance, and conveys a just impression of the magnitude of different
Countries. The size suffices to show the Provincial Divisions, the Rail-
ways and Main Roads, the Principal Rivers and Mountain Ranges. As
a book it can be opened without the inconvenience which attends the use
of a folding map.

"In the series of works which Messrs. Macmillan and Co. are publishing
under this general title (Globe Series) they have combined portableness
with scholarly accuracy and typographical beauty, to a degree that is
almost unprecedented. Happily they are not alone in employing the
highest available scholarship in the preparation of the most elementary
educational works; but their exquisite taste and large resources secure an
artistic result which puts them almost beyond competition. This little
atlas will be an invaluable boon for the school, the desk, or the traveller's
portmanteau."-British Quarterly Review.

EARLY EGYPTIAN HISTORY for the Young. With Descriptions of the Tombs and Monuments. New Edition, with Frontispiece. Fcap. 8vo. 5s.

"Written with liveliness and perspicuity."-Guardian.

"Artistic appreciation of the picturesque, lively humour, unusual aptitude for handling the childish intellect, a pleasant style, and sufficient learning, altogether free from pedantic parade, are among the good qualities of this volume, which we cordially recommend to the parents of inquiring and book-loving boys and girls."-Athenæum.

"This is one of the most perfect books for the young that we have ever seen. We know something of Herodotus and Rawlinson, and the subject is certainly not new to us; yet we read on, not because it is our duty, but for very pleasure. The author has hit the best possible way of interesting any one, young or old."-Literary Churchman.

death, and what they were distinguished for.

"An invaluable addition to our manuals of reference, and from its moderate
price, it cannot fail to become as popular as it is useful."-Times.
"Supplies a universal want among students of all kinds. It is a neat, com-
pact, well printed little volume, which may go into the pocket, and should
be on every student's table, at hand, for reference."-Globe.

JEPHSON.-SHAKESPEARE'S TEMPEST. With Glossary and Explanatory Notes. By the Rev. J. M. JEPHSON. 18mo. Is. 6d.

"His notes display a thorough familiarity with our older English literature, and his preface is so full of intelligent critical remark, that many readers will wish that it were longer."—Guardian.

Schools. Containing a Graduated Selection from Modern Authors
in Prose and Verse; and copious Notes, chiefly Etymological.
By EDWARD A. OPPEN. Fcap. 8vo. cloth, 4s. 6d.

"Mr. Oppen has produced a French Reader, which is at once moderate yet
full, informing yet interesting, which in its selections balances the moderns
fairly against the ancients.... The examples are chosen with taste and
skill, and are so arranged as to form a most agreeable course of French
reading. An etymological and biographical appendix constitutes a very
valuable feature of the work."-
."-Birmingham Daily Post.

A SHILLING BOOK of GOLDEN DEEDS. A Reading-Book for Schools and General Readers. By the Author of "The Heir of Redclyffe." 18mo. cloth.

"To collect in a small handy volume some of the most conspicuous of these (examples) told in a graphic and spirited style, was a happy idea, and the result is a little book that we are sure will be in almost constant demand in the parochial libraries and schools for which it is avowedly intended.”— Educational Times.
