It
may be more to the purpose to add that a work on Arithmetic, which is at once simple in style and thorough in treatment, is now in press at Shanghae. It was prepared by the Reverend W. M. Mateer of Shan Tung, a man of considerable ability, and I speak of its merits from having seen it in manuscript.
Mr. Mateer is now engaged on an Algebra for the use of his own schools, and he intends to make it more simple and elementary than the books on that subject which have hitherto been published in Chinese. In Geography, we are sadly in want of a good text-book. I have made some use of a little book based on the IRS and printed at Shanghai. It is however very defective, and erroneous in some points. A better book is the "Earth" by Mr. Muirhead of Shanghae. I am thinking of issuing from our college press a cheap edition of Hsü's large Geography above named. Before that can be done, however, the work
