subdivided into chapters of a moderate length. The first section
treats of the differentiation of functions in general ; the second
contains the application of the differential calculus to the theory of
plane curves; and the third unfolds the general theory of curve
surfaces and of curves of double curvature. In the first the. author
introduces the most valuable theorems and formulae of the cele-
brated analysts, Euler, Laorange, Demoivre, and Cotes. In the
second, he has given a correct explanation of what the French have
termed consecutive curves. The third contains the most beautiful
theorems of Euler, Monge, and Dupin, relative to the curvature of
surfaces in general, together with a chapter on twisted surfaces ;
a subject hitherto confined to foreign writers. The whole forms a
more simple, consistent, and comprehensive view of 'the differential
calculus, and its variouis applications, than any hitherto published.
"But the work does not merit attention merely on account of
arrangement, and the judicious selections which it contains from
the writings of others. It has also claims to originality. What
the author has adopted from other writers he has rendered much
more simple. The chapter on Maxima and Minima presents con-
siderable improvements in various parts of the investigation. In
surveying the cases in which Taylor's theorem fails, Mr. Young
has shown that it does not fail where the coefficients become ima-
ginary, as is asserted by Lacroix and his followers, but that these
failing cases are always indicated by the coefficients becoming in-
finite. In one of the problems on this subject- he has detected a
fa'se solution by Lagrange, which has been transcribed by Gamier and
several others, merely on the faith. of a great name. •
" The whole Elements of the Differential Calculus, comprehend-
ing all that is most valuable, in the large works of the most cele-
brated analysts, are contained in a duodecimo volume, beautifully
printed on a fine paper, and neatly bound in cloth. It appeared to
be in every respect well fitted for a class-book. and can scarcely fail
to be very generally adopted.—Presbyterian Review, Sept. 1831.
" There are no affected changes of method ; there is no parade
of original plan or of novelty of principle ; and yet there is much
original matter, much original reasoning, and, what is of more
value than all questions about originality in an elementary treatise,
there is a perspicuity, a unity of method, prevailing in all its
parts, that renders it more than any book we have seen peculiarly
adapted to instruction.
" It is not, however, as an elegant and perspicuous development
of the first principles of the Calculus merely that we have admired,
and therefore recommend Mr. Young's little work ; we have also
found much to commend in it of a more profound character; much
that we look for in vain in larger works, and indeed in all English
books.
" The paralogisms of some other writers (distinguished ones too, )
are pointed out in the preface, and in the body of the work ; and
many steps which have hitherto been deemed unquestionable have
been shown by Mr. Young to be altogether fallacious. We wonder
indeed, when we see them pointed out, why they did not occur to
ourselves, nor to any body else, till now ; and we look upon the
aptitude displayed in these detections to be highly characteristic of
a mind which looks with laudable anxiety to the purity of the fun-
damental principles of science. "—Philosophical Magazine, Oct. 1831.

" The volume before us forms the third of an Analytical Course,
which commences with the ELEMENTS OE ANALYTICAL GEO-
METRY.' More ele,;ant text-books do not exist in the English
language, and we trust they will speedily be adopted in our Mathe-
matical Seminaries. The existence of such auxiliaries will of it-
self, we hope, prove an inducement to the cultivation of Analytical
science ; for, to the want of such elementary works, the indiffe-
rence hitherto manifested in this country on the subject is, we ap-
prehend, chiefly to be ascribed. Mr. Young has brought the
science within the reach of every intelligent student, and, in so do-
ing, has contributed to the advancement of Mathematical Learning
in Great Britain."—Presbyterian Rdlkievr.

" Mr. Young is already favourably known to the public by his
writings ; and the Treatise on Mechanics, which we now propose
briefly to notice, will add considerably to his reputation as the
author of elementary works of science.
" To read the works of Laplace, Ivory, Somerville, &c., a know-
ledge of the methods employed by these, writers is previously re-
quired, and renders such preparatory works as those of Mr. Young
absolutely necessary."—Pres. Review, July, 1832.

UNDER the PATRONAGE of HIS MAJESTY, and AU-
THORIZED by the LORDS of the TREASURY.
LIGHT RESTORED.—NERVOUS HEADACHE
ki CURED.—This discovery has proved itself of the greatest
importance to the public. The numerous testimonials the inventor
has received during the last twenty years, from families and editors
of the first respectability, proving the truth of this infallible re-
storative, all of whom may be applied to, who have been relieved
from cataract, gutta serena, opthalmia, and inflammations' all dis-
eases of the eyes and head having been completely eradicated, glasses
left off after twenty years' use, and the person rendered impervious
to contagion by the frequent use of this delightful compound of the
most wholesome, choice, aromatic, and odoriferous herbs. It is re-
commended by occulists and medical practitioners for its many vir-
tues. The high patronage and character it has attained, is a testi-
monial beyond suspicion. To prevent imposition, ask for GRIM-
STONE'S EYE SNUFF, manufactured by the inventor, No. 39,
Broad-street, Bloomsbury, and No. 24, King-street, Long-acre,
London.
COPY OF A LETTER sent to Mr. Grimstone, 39, Broad-
street, Bloomsbury :—" Dear Sir,—You may make use of my name,
for a true fact, in taking your Eye Snuff. I have received such
great benefit, that I can see to write without glasses, which I could
not do before I took your Eye Snuff, my eyes being so very weak;
they are now perfectly strong ! Many of my poor aged men and
women would purchase it in preference to other snuff, but they
cannot afford sixpence per ounce, or buy it in the cannister. I re-
main, Sir, your s respectfully, H. PLUCKW ELL, Governor of the
Poor.—Poor-house, Tottenham, Middlesex, January 24, 1834.
Sight restored."
OBSERVATIONS of the Editor of the " Old England,'
Sept. 22, 1833:—" EYE SNUFF.—This is really an extraordinary
preparation. Of what it is compounded we know not ; but this we
know, that it is wonderfully efficacious, relieving headache and
purging the eyes of injurious humours, especially if they are of a
scrofulous nature. It is also an extremely complaisant companion
when toiling over musty books or writings, and tends most power-
fully to enable the eye to perform, without fail, an unusual quantity
of labour."
OBSERVATIONS of the Editor of the United Service-Gazette,
April 19, 1834.—" The advance of civilization, which gives birth
to so many new forms of infirmity and disease, brings in its train
new discoveries of remedial agents and new applications of science
to their virtues. In no case has this remark been more signally
verified than in the modern prevalence of near-sightedness, and
the new appliances for its relief. Truly, we are a blinking genera-
tion ; every second man glares upon us in the streets through varied
shades of blue, green, or amber, but none of these optical preser-
vatives profess to restore the impaired faculty to the vigour of health.
Let, however, the student and_the literary devotee learn, with gra-
titudii, that such a remedy exists: The instances it which Grim-
stone's Eye-snuff has renewed the power of vision by restoring
tone to the over-strained organ are so numerous mid well authen-
ticated, that the individual who neglects to make an experiment of
its efficacy may justly be said to indulge a silly scepticism at his
own expense. '
