Excerpt from An University Algebra The present volume is designed for use in these advanced courses of training. Thus, while it is thought that the former affords as extended a course in Algebra as is expedient for the preparatory schools, it is believed that this will be found to contain all that these higher schools require. It was deemed necessary to make the work a complete treatise, including the Elements, for purposes of reference, and for reviews, and also in consideration of the fact that our higher institutions have various standards of requirement for admission. In fact, there are few students of Higher Algebra who do not find it necessary to have the Elements at hand for occasional consultation. This Elementary portion is embraced in the first 150 pages, and contains all the definitions, principles. Rules, and demonstrations of the complete school algebra, with an abundant collection of New Examples; but from it all ele mentary illustrations, explanations, solutions, and suggestions, are omitted. The whole is so arranged as to secure readiness of reference and convenience of review by somewhat mature students.
