Abstract
(1) PROF. NUNN'S three volumes form a unique treatise on the study of algebra. Beginning from the first notions in the subject he.separates the educational grain from the educational chaff, and gives us the grain. So much is found fit for discarding as chaff that the author finds space for treating trigonometry, Cartesian geometry, and the calculus, in addition to a discussion of such recent work as that on the complete number-scale.
