Boyd, James E. Differential equations, 60c. James E. Boyd, Columbus, O.

A little book well adapted to serve as a basis for the study at home of this branch of calculus which is often not fully covered in the engineering courses of the technical colleges.

“It is clear in its exposition.”

A tragedy in poem-drama form. A gaunt mother and an aged father are left alone in the castle of Nyarva by Luxander, their only son, who, followed by Nyassa, “a vague faint flower on a waving stem” who loves him, goes out into the darkness accursed of God at the call of the “blind marsh and restless surge,” led by a spirit within him “stronger than life, or Christ, or love.”

“A story of the South during the Civil war, thoroughly provincial. The plot turns upon the cowardice of the twin brother of the heroine. The latter takes her brother’s place in the Confederate army, leading his deserted men to victory. This is the one blot upon Southern chivalry in the tale, while the author evidently holds that both civilians and soldiers north of Mason and Dixon’s line were knaves and coarse mercenaries.”—Outlook.

“Is written in a spirit that few readers nowadays will find sympathetic.”
