Elements of Algebra: Translated from the French, With the Notes of Bernoulli and the Additions of de la Grange, 3D Carefully Rev. And Corr, By John ... Life and Character of Euler (Classic Reprint)

Having prefixed my name to the present edition of Euler s Algebra, it may be proper to give some account of the Translation ;which I shall do with the greater pleasure, because it furnishes a favorable opportunity of associating my own labors, with those of my distinguished pupil, and most excellent friend, the late Francis Horner, M. P. When first placed under my tuition, at the critical and interesting age of seventeen, he soon discovered uncommon powers of intellect, and the most ardent thirst for knowledge, united with a docility of temper, and a sweetness of disposition, which rendered instruction, indeed, a delightful task. His diligence and attention were such, as to require the frequent interposition of some rational amusement, in order to prevent the intenseness of his application from injuring a constitution, which, though not delicate, had never been robust.
