 PREFATORY NOTE TO THE

TWELFTH EDITION

As more than thirty years have elapsed since the first publication of this little book, it has been thought desirable to bring the figures, and some of the examples used, up to the present time.

My best thanks are due to the friend who has placed his services at my disposal for this purpose.

The new matter is confined to notes, and the text of the original work has not been touched.

May, 1906.

PREFATORY NOTE TO THE ELEVENTH EDITION

this Edition additional Notes have been inserted by Mr. E. Johnstone, in Appendix II., and the other Notes have been revised by him, so as to bring up the work to the present date.

July, 1899.
