Abstract
A “Treatise on Algebra” is rarely found to fulfil the promise of its title. It is too often a mere collection of problems and examples, thrown together without much regard to order or method; such theory as the book contains is often imperfect, and occasionally even incorrect; and no attempt is made to suggest the idea of an ordered system of algebra, which proceeds along natural lines of development.
Lehrbuch der Algebra.
Von Heinrich Weber. Erster Band. Pp. xvi + 654. (Braunschweig: Vieweg und Sohn, 1895.)
