"The plan of extreme subdivision, and the differences of type, are undoubtedly calculated to give help to the beginner.' PROFESSOR DE MORGAN. "I should think that the mode in which it is printed will be a great assistance to beginners; indeed, they can hardly fail to follow the demonstrations in it, if they can catch the syllogistic process at all.' PROFESSOR G. D. LIVEING, late Secretary to the Syndicate for conducting the Cambridge Local Examinations, and Examiner in Experimental Philosophy in the University of London. 'It seems to me to be a very useful book, and exactly adapted for the boys who come up for our examinations. I trust the teachers too will learn something from it.' Rev. T. J. POTTER, M.A., Trinity College, Cambridge, Examiner in Mathematics to the College of Preceptors. 'The School Euclid, comprising the first Four Books, will bear comparison with any that has yet been produced.' Dr. RUTHERFORD, Royal Military Academy, Woolwich. 'As far as it goes, this is an excellent School-book.' The Diary, edited by W. S. WOOLHOUSE, F.R.A.S. 'Mr. ISBISTER believes that much of the difficulty of teaching Euclid to young people arises from the absence in the ordinary editions of the Elements of those aids to the learner which are so plentifully supplied in every other department of instruction. The belief is well founded; and the expedients he has adopted are well calculated to remove the difficulty in question.' MUSEUM. 'An attempt is made in this edition of the first four books of Simson's Euclid to make the members of each proposition clear to the eye by the adoption of different species of type. In the figures, the parts which are given in the enunciation are represented by dark lines, and those which are added in the course of the demonstration, by dotted lines. These are decidedly improvements, and will probably tend to smooth the course of learners.' PARTHENON. "We have much pleasure in strongly recommending this book to all our readers. It will be found most serviceable to all who are teaching or learning Euclid. Mr. ISBISTER has availed himself of the labours of those who have striven to render the demonstrations clear to the learner, and he has neither spoken slightingly of those labours nor ignored his obligations to them. We cannot better describe Mr. ISBISTER'S Euclid than by saying that to us it appears like Mr. Potts's Euclid improved. Without wishing to detract in the slightest from the merit to which Mr. ISBISTER is entitled for precision of language, we candidly state our belief that the chief point of superiority of his edition of Euclid over others of recent date, consists in the technical arrangement. The engraver and the printer have proved invaluable auxiliaries to Mr. ISBISTER, who has evidently endeavoured to improve upon improvements.' PUPIL TEACHER. "The changes introduced are undoubted improvements.' PAPERS FOR THE SCHOOLMASTER. |
