Abstract
WITHOUT altering the general character of the well-known text-book with which he has had to deal, Mr. Loney has succeeded very well in bringing it up to date. The appendix has been enlarged by the insertion of sections on poles and polars, harmonic ranges, inversion, coaxal circles, &c.; the number of exercises has been doubled, and, what is more important, the really valuable exercises have been starred and hints given for the solution of many of them. To teachers of the conservative school this new edition ought to prove very acceptable.
