Abstract
PROF. PERRY'S persistent advocacy of a system of mathematical instruction adapted to modern requirements is bearing fruit in the shape of text-books, which will probably do more to induce teachers to adopt rational methods than the most convincing statement in favour of them. Mr. Castle has already prepared a book on “Practical Mathematics” which covers substantially all the subjects in the syllabus drawn up by Prof. Perry for the Board of Education, South Kensington. The two little books under notice have been written in the same spirit, and contain some sections from the previous volume, but the treatment is more elementary and many new exercises are given.
