Abstract
I THINK it is right that attention should be publicly directed to the exceedingly irregular appearance of the Messenger of Mathematics. In the case of a magazine of its size and character there is no reason whatever why it should not be published on the first of each month. The “heavy” mathematical journals may be permitted to turn up when their editors please; but the case of a monthly meant to foster a taste for mathematical investigation among junior mathematicians is entirely different; indeed, the good such a magazine is calculated to do is almost nullified by irregular publication. The Messenger is always more or less irregular: just now, however, it is drawing so long a breath that one fears that its last message has been carried. We are now in the middle of December and the October number has not yet been heard of!
