ALGEBRA
BAILEY'S FIRST LESSONS IN ALGEBRA.—Although
this work has been before the public but little more than a year,
several editions have already been called for; and it has been
very extensively introduced into academies and schools in various
parts of the country. From a great number of notices and recommendations
of the work in their possession, the publishers
select the following:—
From Teachers in Boston Public Schools.
We have used “Bailey's First Lessons in Algebra,” in the Public Writing
Schools of Boston, respectively committed to our instruction, and can testify
with confidence to its high value. The peculiar excellence of the work consists
in its serving not only as a text-book, but in a great measure as a teacher.
The plainness, simplicity, and fulness with which the subject is treated, enable
the scholar to proceed in the exercises understandingly, with little or no
aid, other than that which is to be found on the pages of the book.
JAMES ROBINSON, ABEL WHEELER.
From Mr. B. Greenleaf, Preceptor of Bradford Academy.
I have, with much attention and satisfaction, examined “Bailey's First
Lessons in Algebra.” As a first course of lessons in this very interesting
science, this book, I do not hesitate to say, far exceeds any other that I have
seen. No scholar will consider Algebra a dry study while attending to this
system. I am very glad to find that Algebra has been introduced into many
of our town schools; and am positive that there is no better way to make
scholars understand Arithmetic well, than that they should devote part of
their time to the study of Algebra. I most cordially recommend the work to
the attention of School Committees and Teachers.
A KEY, in a separate volume, is published for the use of
Teachers.
