Preface to the Second Edition
The present second edition is, in the main, a faithful reprint of the first. Typographical errors have been corrected, a few stylistic blemishes eliminated, and a few short paragraphs that contain only repetitions struck out.
The third book, which presented quite unforeseen difficulties, is now also nearly ready in man*script. If my health holds out it will be ready for press this autumn.
