The mathematical essays and recreations in this volume are by one of the most successful teachers and text-book writers of Germany. The monistic construction of arithmetic, the systematic and organic development of all its consequences from a few thoroughly established principles, is quite foreign to the general run of American and English elementary text-books, and the first three essays of Professor Schubert will, therefore, from a logical and esthetic side, be full of suggestions forelementary mathematical teachers and students, as well as for non-mathematical readers. For the actual detailed development of the system of arithmetic here sketched, we may refer the reader to Professor Schubert's volume Arithmetik und Algebra, recently published in the [G]oschen-Sammlung ([G]oschen, Leipsic), -an extraordinarily cheap series containing many other unique and valuable text-books in mathematics and the sciences.

After piloting an emperor the age of a college student through China's most drastic government reforms before the modern era, Wang Anshi retreated to his Halfway Hill villa at Nanjing, where in late middle age he became one of the Northern Song dynasty's three or four most innovative poets. He redirected the craft of composing high-stakes policy papers into lighter-than-air evocations of clear-eyed grief, sensuous Buddhism, and intricate reactions to rain on the river or donkey-riding up Bell Mountain. Acrimony over his redesigned government, which he lived just long enough to see totally dismantled, remains relevant to Chinese politics and economics. Published during his thousand-year jubilee, this first full English biography since 1937 draws on Wang's essays, poems, and his vivid, seldom-explored throne-room diary.

It is generally accepted that Queen Victoria reigned but did not rule. This couldn't be more wrong. In Queen Victoria and Her Prime Ministers , Anne Somerset masterfully traces Victoria's political evolution, from headstrong teenager to seasoned octogenarian. This book demonstrates her passionate involvement in state affairs, and casts fresh light on her relationships with her ten prime ministers. Victoria herself acknowledged that when it came to 'likes and dislikes' of her prime ministers, 'she had them very strongly'. She showed girlish adoration for her first Prime Minister, the worldly-wise Lord Melbourne, whose delightful conversation and kindly guidance enchanted her. Later in her reign, Benjamin Disraeli - who flattered her shamelessly, tirelessly praising her sagacity and judgement and filling her life with 'poetry, romance and chivalry' - became her favourite. While she developed a powerful bond with several of her Prime Ministers, in other cases the relationship fell little short of mutual detestation. Victoria's keenest antipathy was reserved for Disraeli's great rival, the Liberal William Gladstone. When he became prime minister for a fourth time at the age of 82, Victoria declared it 'a bad joke' that this 'dangerous old fanatic' should be 'thrust down her throat'. Queen Victoria and Her Prime Ministers charts the bitter clashes and affectionate interactions Victoria had with her ten premiers in often hilarious detail. Drawing extensively on unpublished sources such as material from the Royal Archives and never-before-seen prime ministerial papers, it casts a fresh and highly illuminating perspective not just on Victoria, but on the exceptionally able politicians who served her in government.
