Abstract
CONDESCENDING to a pun, Gauss once remarked that he was more interested in notions than in notations. The theory of aggregates is so independent f the ordinary symbolism of mathematics that it requires hardly any previous acquaintance with other branches of the science from those who proceed to the study of it. At the same time, it is full of peculiar difficulties: it abounds in seeming paradoxes; and some of its fundamental problems are at the present time the subject of keen research and controversy. A hearty welcome is therefore due to a work composed y authors who are familiar with all that has been published about aggregates, and have themselves made important contributions to the subject.
