Description
First Edition, Leather Binding, Publishers' Original Binding, Very Scarce
The first edition of this very scarce work.
An educational guide to algebra by the American educator William J. Milne. This is an accessible textbook on maths, presented in a simple and attractive manner for a reader of any skill.
Milne headed two teachers' colleges in New York State, and published numerous mathematical textbooks.
