Abstract
DR. MUIR'S symbols (p. 520) may be very suitable for manuscripts or the blackboard, but the expense of printing them would be prohibitive. No book in which such symbols were used to any extent could possibly pay. On the other hand, the symbol (dE/dv)p can always be introduced into a paragraph of letter press without using a justification or a vinculum; and this very much lessens the expense of printing.
