Professor JOHN PERRY, of the Royal College of Science, South Kensington, writes:-"I never do praise a book unless I believe it to be good. Your Algebra (regarded as a book for beginners) pleases me very much indeed. I cannot imagine an Algebra prepared for schools in general, and especially for use by teachers in general, which would come nearer to my notion of what an Algebra ought to be, than yours."

"This is an admirable little book.

The great point of Mr. Leonard's book is that he writes, as do too few instructors, for the absolutely ignorant pupil, and that unfortunate being is the ore who is too often not considered. In all the experiments he gives the reason why.... Such books as the one before us should be scattered broadcast."-The Lancet.

The author evidently understands the difficulties which assail a young boy who is starting on a course of experimental Science." -Fourual of Education. A FIRST COURSE OF CHEMISTRY. By J. H. LEONARD, Author of "A First Course of Practical Science." With numerous Diagrams. F'cap 8vo.

COMMERCIAL KNOWLEDGE. A Manual of Business Methods and Transactions. By ALGERNON WARREN. Crown 8vo. 2s. 6d.
