Work through first

Covers much of the same ground

  • The 1908 single volume covers every chapter here, several of them further, and adds ratio and proportion and hand cube-root extraction — but it carries no exercises at all.

These overlap heavily. Each note says what that book has which this one does not — the differences are what decide between them.
