This book, a reprint of a successful English publication, has been so enlarged as to be to all intents and purposes new. It has been carefully revised by a Reverend gentleman, who for some time filled the chair of Physics and Chemistry in one of our colleges.

A feature which will commend the book to every teacher is the definitions of difficult words and terms, following the paragraphs in which such words occur.
