MATHEMATICS.

ART. XIV. Elements of Plane Geometry, containing the Six first Books of Euclid, from the Text of Dr. Simson, with Notes, Additions, &c. By Thomas Keith. 8vo. pp. 398. 10s. 6d. Longman. 1814.

This is a volume which will prove highly useful to mathematical students in the first stage of their progress; particularly to such as have not the advantage of an instructor. Mr. Keith has very judiciously adopted the text of Dr. Simson as a generally received guide; and his notes and alterations are such as are usually made in the Cambridge Lecture rooms. If therefore the student is unassisted by an academical tutor, this will prove a very satisfactory source of that knowledge, which, though common enough at the University, he cannot supply from the resources of his own observation. This volume, therefore, may be strongly recommended as an useful and good subsidiary to the study of elementary geometry.

ART. XV.

MISCELLANEOUS.

Practical Hints to young Females. By Mrs. Taylor, of Ongar. 12mo. pp. 165. 5s. Taylor and Hessey. 1815.

The duties of a wife, of a mother, and of a mistress of a family, are admirably pourtrayed, and most successfully urged, in this little volume. It is a book that will be placed in the hands of those who are to fill these enviable situations with the utmost advantage. The short religious portion at the conclusion is warm, affectionate, and just, but not tinged with the slightest spirit of fanaticism.
