OPINIONS OF TUTORS "Nothing can be better than the idea and the execution of the English SchoolClassics, edited by Mr. Storr. Their cheapness and excellence encourage us to the hope that the study of our own language, too long neglected in our schools, may take its proper place in our curriculum, and may be the means of inspiring that taste for literature which it is one of the chief objects of education to give, and which is apt to be lost sight of in the modern style of teaching Greek and Latin Classics with a view to success in examinations."-Oscar Browning, M.A., Fellow of King's College, Cambridge; Assistant-Master at Eton College.

"I think the plan of them is excellent; and those volumes which I have used I have found carefully and judiciously edited, neither passing over difficulties, nor preventing thought and work on the pupil's part by excessive annotation."-Rev. C. B. Hutchinson, M.A., Assistant-Master in Rugby School.

"I think that these books are likely to prove most valuable. There is great variety in the choice of authors. The notes seem sensible, as far as I have been able to examine them, and give just enough help, and not too much; and the size of each volume is so small, that in most cases it need not form more than one term's work.

AND SCHOOLMASTERS.

Something of the kind was greatly wanted."
-E. E. Bowen, M.A., Master of the
Modern Side, Harrow School.

"I have used some of the volumes of your English School-Classics for several months in my ordinary form work, and I have recommended others to be set as subjects for different examinations for which the boys have to prepare themselves. I shall certainly continue to use them, as I have found them to be very well suited to the wants of my form."-C. M. Bull, M.A., Master of the Modern School in Marlborough College.

"I have no hesitation in saying that the volumes of your Series which I have examined appear to me far better adapted for school use than any others which have come under my notice. The notes are sufficiently full to supply all the information which a boy needs to understand the text without superseding the necessity of his thinking. The occasional questions call the learner's attention to points which he can decide from his own resources. The general plan, and the execution of the volumes which have come before me, leave little to be desired in a School Edition of the English Classics."-The Rev. Chas. Grant Chittenden, M.A., The Grange, Hoddesdon, Herts.

OPINIONS OF TUTORS AND SCHOOLMASTERS.

"A person who carefully studies these books will have a thorough and accurate knowledge of the subjects on which they treat."-H. A. Morgan, M.A., Tutor of Jesus College, Cambridge.

"We have for some time used your Mathematical books in our Lecture Room, and find them well arranged, and well calculated to clear up the difficulties of the subjects. The examples also are numerous and well-selected."-N. M. Ferrers, M.A., Fellow and Tutor of Gonville and Caius College, Cambridge.

"I have used in my Lecture Room Mr. Hamblin Smith's text-books with very great advantage."-James Porter, M.A., Fellow and Tutor of St. Peter's College, Cambridge.

For beginners there could be no better books, as I have found when examining different schools."-A.W.W. Steel, M.A., Fellow and Assistant-Tutor of Gonville and Caius College, Cambridge.

"I consider Mr. Hamblin Smith's Mathematical Works to be a very valuable series for beginners. His Algebra in particular I think is the best book of its kind for schools and for the ordinary course at Cambridge."

F. Patrick, M.A., Fellow and Tutor of Magdalen College, Cambridge.

"The series is a model of clearness and insight into possible difficulties."-Rev. J. F. Blake, St. Peter's College, Clifton, York.

"I can say with pleasure that I have used your books extensively in my work at

Haileybury, and have found them on the
whole well adapted for boys."-Thomas
Pitts, M.A., Assistant Mathematical
Master at Haileybury College.

"I can strongly recommend them all." W. Henry, M.A., Sub-Warden, Trinity College, Glenalmond.

"I consider Mr. Smith has supplied a great want, and cannot but think that his works must command extensive use in good schools."-7. Henry, B.A., Head-Master, H.M. Dockyard School, Sheerness, and Instructor of Engineers, R.N.

"We have used your Algebra and Trigonometry extensively at this School from the time they were first published, and I thoroughly agree with every mathematical teacher have met, that, as school textbooks, they have no equals. We are introducing your Euclid gradually into the School."-Rev. B.Edwardes, sen., Mathematical Master at the College, Hurstpierpoint, Sussex.

"I consider them to be the best books of their kind on the subject which I have yet seen."-Joshua Jones, D.C.L., HeadMaster, King William's College, Isle of Man.

"I have very great pleasure in expressing an opinion as to the value of these books. I have used them under very different circumstances, and have always been satisfied with the results obtained."-C. H. W. Biggs, Mathematical Editor of the 'English Mechanic, Editor of the 'Monthly Journal of Education.'

Crown 8vo.

"We have to congratulate Mr. Gross on his excellent treatment of the more difficult chapters in Elementary Algebra. His work satisfies not only in every respect the requirements of a first-rate text-book on the subject, but is not open to the standing reproach of most English mathematical treatises for students, a minimum of teaching and a maximum of problems. The hard work and considerable thought which Mr. Gross has devoted to the book will be seen on every page by the experienced teacher; there is not a word too much, nor is the student left without genuine assistance where it is needful. The lan

8s. 6d.

guage is precise, clear, and to the point. The problems are not too numerous, and selected with much tact and judgment. The range of the book has been very rightly somewhat extended beyond that assigned to simpler treatises, and it includes the elementary principles of Determinants. This chapter especially will be read with satisfaction by earnest students, and the mode of exposition will certainly have the approval of teachers. Altogether we think that this Algebra will soon become a general text-book, and will remain so for a long time to come." Westminster Review.
