Excerpt from The Recent Progrss of Astronomy: Especially in the United States
This little volume is designed to exhibit in a popular form the most important astronomical discoveries of the past ten years. It does not profess even to enumerate all the discoveries of this period. Such an enumeration would have swelled the volume much beyond its present size. Those topics have been selected in which it was supposed the public generally would fee...

Excerpt from The Elements of Analytical Geometry
The stereotype plates of my Elements of Analytical Geometry having become so much worn by long-continued use that it was thought desirable to renew them, I have improved the opportunity to make a thorough revision of the work. In doing this, it has been thought best to extend considerably the plan of the work, and accordingly I have not merely added a third part on Geometry of three dimensions,...
Excerpt from The Elements of AlgebraThe study of Algebra may properly be commenced at an early stage of education. As soon as the mind has acquired some degree of maturity, and has be come familiar with the principles of common Arithme tic, it is prepared to understand the elementary prin. Ciples of Algebra. This study is admirably adapted to strengthen the reasoning faculties, to lead the mind to rely upon its own resources, and to bultivate ...
Excerpt from Elements of Geometry and Conic Sections
Considerable attention has been given to the construction of the die grams. I have aimed to reduce them all to nearly uniform dimensions, and to make them tolerable approximations to the Objects they were de signed to represent. I have made free use of dotted lines. Generally, the black lines are used to represent those parts of a figure which are directly involved in the statement of the p...

Article 1.
Logarithms are numbers designed to diminish the labor of Multiplication and Division, by substituting in their stead Addition and Subtraction. All numbers are regarded as powers of some one number, which is called the base of the system, and the exponent of that power of the base which is equal to a gi...
