LIBER CANTABRIGIENSIS.

An Account of the Aids afforded to poor Students,

the Encouragements offered to diligent Students, and the Rewards conferred on successful
Students, in the University of Cambridge: to which is prefixed a Collection of Maxims, Aphor.
isms, &c. Designed for the Use of Learners. Pp. 570, price 5s. 6d.
A suitable book for School Libraries.

"It was not a bad idea to prefix to the many encouragements afforded to students in the University of Cambridge, a selection of Maxims drawn from the writings of men, who have shown that learning is to be judged by its fruits in social and individual life."

THE LITERARY CHURCHMAN. "A work like this was much wanted."

CLERICAL JOURNAL. "The book altogether is one of merit and value." GUARDIAN."

"The several parts of this book are most interesting and instructive." EDUCATIONAL TIMES. "No doubt many will thank Mr. Potts for the very valuable information he has afforded in this laborious compilation." CRITIC.

"A vast amount of information is compressed into a small compass, at the cost evidently of great labour and pains. The Aphorisms, which form a prefix of 174 pages, may suggest useful reflections to earnest students." THE PATRIOT.

Euclid's Elements of Geometry:

(The University Edition) with Notes, Geometrical Exercises from the Senate-House and College Examination Papers, and an Introduction containing a brief outline of the History of Geometry, Svo. Together with the Appendix. Price 10s. in cloth.

Euclid's Elements:

The First Six Books (The School Edition, the fourth), with Notes, Questions, Geometrical Exercises, and Hints for the Solution of the Problems, &c. 12mo. Price 4s. 6d. The First Book,

13., the First Two Books, 1s. 6d., the First Three Books, 3s.

The object of these Editions of Euclid has been to exhibit the Cambridge mode of teaching Geometry. In addition to its extensive use in the Universities of Oxford and Cambridge, and the principal Grammar Schools, Mr. POTTS' Euclid is on the Catalogue of Books supplied at the Depositories of the National Society, Westminster, and of the Congregational Board of Education, Homerton College; as well as on the Official List of the Committee of Council on Education; and the Books may be obtained through those channels at reduced cost for purposes of National Education. It may be added that the Council of Education at Calcutta have been pleased to order the introduction of these editions of Euclid's Elements into the Schools and Colleges under their control in Bengal. In my opinion Mr. Potts has made a valuable addition to Geometrical literature by his Editions of Euclid's Elements."-W. WHEWELL, D.D., Master of Trinity College, Cambridge.

"Mr Potts editions of Euclid's Geometry are characterised by a due appreciation of the spirit and exactness of the Greek Geometry, and an acquaintance with its history, as well as by a knowledge of the modern extensions of the science. The Elements are given in such a form as to preserve entirely the spirit of the ancient reasoning, and having been extensively used in Colleges and Public Schools, cannot fail to have the effect of keeping up the study of Geometry in its original purity."-JAMES CHALLIS, M.A., Plomian Professor of Astronomy and Experimental Philosophy in the University of Cambridge.

"By the publication of these works, Mr. Potts has done very great service to the cause of Geometrical science: I have adopted Mr. Potts' work as the text-book for my own Lectures in Geometry, and I believe that it is recommended by all the Mathematical Tutors and Professors in this University."-ROBERT WALKER, M.A., F.R.S., Reader in Experimental Philosophy in the University, and Mathematical Tutor of Wadham College, Oxford.

"Mr. Potts has maintained the text of Simson, and secured the very spirit of Euclid's Geometry, by means which are simply mechanical. It consists in printing the syllogism

in a separate paragraph, and the members of it in separate
subdivisions, each, for the most part, occupying a single
line. The divisions of a proposition are therefore seen at
once without requiring an instant's thought. Were this
the only advantage of Mr. Potts' edition, the great con-
venience which it affords in tuition would give it a claim to
become the Geometrical text-book of England. This, how-
ever, is not its only merit."-PHILOSOPHICAL MAGAZINE.
"When the greater portion of this part of the course was
printed, and had for some time been in use in the Academy, a
new edition of Euclid's Elements, by Mr. Robert Potts, M.A.,
of Trinity College, Cambridge, which is likely to supersede
most others, to the extent, at least, of the Six Books, was
published. From the manner of arranging the demonstra-
tions, this edition has the advantages of the symbolical form,
and it is at the same time free from the manifold objections
to which that form is open. The duodecimo edition of this
work, comprising only the first Six Books of Euclid, with
deductions from them, having been introduced at this
Institution as a text-book, now renders any other Treatise
on Plain Geometry unnecessary in our course of Mathema-
tics."-Preface to a Treatise on Descriptive Geometry,
&c., by S. HUNTER CHRISTIE, M.A., of Trinity College,
Cambridge, Secretary of the Royal Society, and Pro-
fessor of Mathematics in the Royal Military Academy,
Woolwich.

The Evidences of Christianity and the

(24)

Hora

Paulina. By WILLIAM PALEY, D.D., formerly Fellow and Tutor of Christ's College, Cambridge. A New Edition, with Notes, an Analysis, and a Selection of Questions from the Senate-House and College Examination Papers: designed for the Use of Students, by Robert Potts, M.A., Trinity College. 8vo. pp. 568, price 10s. 6d. in cloth. "Mr. Potts' is the most complete and useful edition yet published." ECLECTIC REVIEW. "We feel that this ought to be henceforth the standard edition of the Evidences' and 'Hora.'"

BIBLICAL REVIEW.

"The theological student will find this an invaluable volume. In addition to the text there are copious notes, indicative of laborious and useful research: an analysis of great ability and correctness; and a selection from the Senate-House and College Examination Papers, by which great help is given as to what to study and how to study it. There is nothing wanting to make this book perfect." CHURCH AND STATE GAZETTE. "Without this volume the library of any Christian man is incomplete." CHURCH OF ENGLAND QUARTERLY REVIEW. London: LONGMAN, BROWN, AND CO., Paternoster Row. (25)

"The analysis is intended as a guide to students not accustomed to abstract their reading, as well as an assistance to the mastery of Paley; the notes consist of original passages referred to in the text, with illustrative observations by the editor; the questions have been selected from the Examinations for the last thirty years. It is an useful edition."
