Abstract

(1) THIS text-book consists chiefly of sets of examples and test-papers, with some typical solutions. Detailed explanations are left to each teacher to give as he thinks fit. This has the double advantage of keeping the book within reasonable compass and at the same time including as much as any boy is likely to require, for boys do not, and probably never will, read long discussions in the text. But when revising or doing out-of-school work a certain number of specimen solutions are of real use. We like the general appearance of the book; there are numerous interesting and attractive questions, those on contours and map-reading deserving special mention.
