Abstract
WHEN a demand arises for a new edition of a general text-book on some branch of science, the problem before the editor is to decide whether the new wine of recent discovery will go with safety into the old bottle. The solution depends largely upon the adaptability of the original scheme. When the treatment has been dominated by one aspect of the subject-matter, or when the science has entered on a new transitional phase of discovery involving new points of view, the new wine requires a new bottle.
