ALGEBRA, ETC.

SIR,-In compliance with your request, appended in a note to centenary of problems," which you gave in No. 101 of the P. E., I venture to send you two solutions. If I tell you that I never knew anything of algebra until last Christmas, when I was induced to commence the study from seeing the easy lessons in your truly excellent publication, I hope you will give me credit for my statement.

I am really a self-taught man; but as languages and other subjects have occupied so much of my time and attention, I was surprised at the improvement I made within the short space of a fortnight in the study of algebra. Although I began in real earnest, yet I am not insensible to the fact that my determination may be ascribed to the very simple and easy method laid down in the first lessons you published. For this acquisition, moderate as it is, I beg you will accept my most sincere thanks. It is, indeed, entirely owing to your useful and indefatigable exertions in the cause of self-improvement and of education and literature generally, that I have formed a slight acqua'atance with a science that always appeared to me to be involved in the most inexplicable mystery.

That you may go on and prosper, even beyond your most sanguine expectations, is the fervent wish of, Sir, your very grateful servant, ALEFH.

P. S. As your Lessons were not all published so as to enable me to prosecute my studies, I bought the shilling volume, "Cassell's Algebra," which I have found very acceptable. I should recommend all students in algebra to procure it.

ANSWERS TO CORRESPONDENTS.

A. C. H. (Lambeth) is recommended to make his own solutions. The exact strength for most purposes of testing is of no consequence. The great consideration is to have them pure. When a solution of any particular strength is necessary, we shall take care to intimate this. The occasion will not occur so long as we are occupied with qualitative not quantitative chemistry.

J. G. CUNNINGHAM (Sunderland): Right, and thanks.—A. B. (Hoxton): The subject on which he makes inquiry will soon appear.-H. HOLBROOK (Ipswich): Cassell's Arithmetic, Algebra, and Geometry, price ls. each, are the best for him; and they are indispensable.-PETER (Ripponden) should apply to the Bishop's chaplain, as he says.-T. R. (Durham): We can't give the required information.-J. G. THORNLEY (Ballyclare): It is entirely out of our power to oblige him and his friends with the subject requested at present.-PEREGRINE PICKLE (Aberystwith): We would strongly advise him to persevere with the Lessons on Music and Drawing in the P. E.; he will be sure ultimately to succeed. If he could by any means
