Page vi - MICHAEL O'SHANNESSY, AM 1 vol. 8vo. " The volume before us forms the third of an analytical course, which commences with the * Elements of Analytical Geometry.' More elegant t&xtbooks do not exist in the English language, and we trust they will speedily be adopted in our Mathematical Seminaries. The existence of such auxiliaries will, of itself, we hope, prove an inducement to the cultivation of Analytical Science ; for, to the want of such...
