Abstract
BESIDES two introductory chapters of a more or less metaphysical kind, this work contains four others dealing respectively with logic, geometry, mechanics, and the extension of mechanics; the last concluding with a section on the phenomena of life. This range of subjects is so great that, as might be expected, the treatment of them is unequal; but the fact that they are all discussed by a mathematician is significant, and for at least two of the main topics (geometry and physics) the author's special knowledge is of great value.
