Abstract
THE two books under notice together constitute an excellent introduction to non-Euclidean geometry in all its aspects. The lectures of F. Klein now appear in print for the first time under the editorship of W. Rosemann, though a lithographed edition was published so long as thirty-six years ago. The present edition has been considerably changed as the result of prolonged consultation between the present editor and the distinguished author shortly before the death of the latter.
