In this respect it will be seen to agree with Professor Peacock's Collection of Examples; and indeed if a second edition of that excellent work had been published I should not have undertaken the task of making this compilation. But as Professor Peacock informed me that he had not leisure to superintend the publication of a second edition of his Examples" " which had been long out of print, I thought that I should do a service to students by preparing a work on a similar plan, but with such modifications as seemed called for by the increased cultivation of Analysis in this University. Accordingly I have not limited myself to the mere collection of Examples and Problems illustrative of Theorems given in Elementary Treatises on the subject, but I have also introduced demonstrations of propositions which, although important and interesting, do not usually find a place in works devoted to the exposition of the principles of the Calculus. I wished by these means to render this Collection, as it were, complementary to those works, and, with the view of allowing it to be
