Abstract
IN this new edition of Prof. Hilton's able work on the theory of plane algebraic curves, which was first published in 1920, advantage has been taken to recast several important chapters without disturbing the original pagination. Those who are acquainted with the first edition will agree that the author has considerably clarified the text in these chapters and has added fresh proofs to several important theorems, notably on pp. 76, 101 and 199. This should certainly stimulate a greater interest in an admittedly abstract branch of analysis. A considerable portion of the matter is the result of the author's own investigations into the subject. Especially is this the case in the chapters on quadratic transformations, derived curves, unicursal quartics and quartics of deficiency one and two.
