Abstract
A WORK by Mr. Williamson is like good wine, and needs no commendation from us. We note that this has reached a fourth edition, but Mr. Williamson does not rest content with what he has already achieved. He has given a touch here, brought out into greater prominence a feature there, and not only so, but he has at last added a new detail in the shape of a chapter on multiple integration. In our notices of former editions we have drawn attention to the absence of such a chapter, and we are glad to see that he has at last introduced what he hopes “will be found a useful addition to the book.” We need only remark further that this edition has 393 pages against 375 pages in the third edition.
An Elementary Treatise on the Integral Calculus, containing Applications to Plane Curves and Surfaces; with Numerous Examples.
By B. Williamson. (London: Longmans, 1884.)
