Abstract
IN NATURE (vol. xvi. p. 21) we drew attention to a “shaking” that was taking place among the “dry bones” of the mathematical text-books in common use in American colleges and schools, and upon the analysis we then furnished of a few works before us we ventured to predict a speedy awakening of mathematical life. Our prognostications have been quickly fulfilled, and we now propose to submit an account of five recent books, some of which are quite fitted to hold their own, in our opinion, with English text-books on the same subjects.
