Greek to use with Hadley & Allen's Grammar. Exact parallels have
been found to almost all the references in the Lessons, and the new

In few dialogues is the dramatic form so skilfully maintained

without being overborne by the philosophical development. By the

changing scenes, the variety in the treatment of the theme, and the
repeated participation of the bystanders, the representation of a
scene from real

Noticeable, too, is the number of vividly elaborated characters

The

secret of their excellence, as of genuine excellence

and value

seems easily stated, even if not easily analyzed. All

the books give evidence not only of the expert mathematician, but
of the practical teacher. At every step both instructor and student
find their difficulties anticipated and their needs provided for.
The method aims to secure mastery of the subject, and to impart
a skill that will be of far more practical service than mere comin everything,

The

problems are there-

and ingenious as possible, besides being carefully

graded and supplied in ample quantity. Clearness, directness of
method, the elimination of all superfluous matter, and that economy
of mental force which is nowadays so essential, are distinguishing
features, and the author's work is so thorough and finished in all
parts that the books are found to wear with the minimum of
friction, and remain long where they have been introduced.
According to the most accurate figures that could be obtained
March 1, 1888, there were in the United States about 175 colleges
and 3000 schools which use either the Algebra, the Geometry, or the
Trigonometry. Probably, on the average, two of the books are to
be found in each of these institutions.
In addition to their general adoption in the United States,
Wentworth's Mathematics are known to be used in leading institutions in Canada, Great Britain, Turkey, Syria, India, Japan, and
the Hawaiian Islands.
