Excerpt from High School Algebra: Embracing a Complete Course for High Schools and Academies High Schools and Academies. The plan pursued in the development of the subjects is substantially the same as that adopted in the author's Inductive Algebra, of which this is a revision, but the scope of the treatise has been considerably extended, so that it may more fully meet the demands of institutions that are preparing students for our higher scientific schools, and for advanced standing in our colleges. It is believed that the treatment of the subject will commend itself to teachers on account of its simplicity, its clearness, and its thoroughness. The student is led by natural and properly graduated exercises to a thor ough comprehension of the principles of the science, and then he is given such abundant practice in applying them, that they become fixed in the memory, and the most rapid progress is secured.
