Abstract

THE main features of Mr. Routh's admirable treatise are well known to students. The first edition, of 336 pages, appeared in 1860; the second, of 492 pages, in 1868; the present consists of 564 pages, each page containing from a third to a half as much matter more than the page of the earlier editions. Some idea may thus be formed of the great amount of new matter. Of this increase take another proof: in the second edition the chapter on Small Oscillations took up pp. 273 to 322; in this edition the subject occupies pp. 325 to 403 ! The author assigns as a reason for this increase, “I have been led ” to make these additions “because there are so many important applications which it did not seem proper to pass over without some notice.”
