"In some cases, "Prof. Laughlin states in his preface, "I have omitted Mr. Mill's statement entirely, and put in its stead a simpler form of the same exposition which I believed would more easily be grasped by a student." These in brief are the principal features of the new work. While the book is founded on Mr. Mill's work, there is so much that is new and original that it is really more...

The majority of appropriate college themes in French metres would find themselves ill at ease when so finely gotten up and would move about in a restrained and over-careful manner. The sad smile...
