Abstract
THESE notes and questions, mostly questions, have been, as the author explains, compiled to prepare students and teachers for the examinations of the Science and Art Department. It is to be regretted that such books are required, for although, as the author states in his preface, the arrangement may have been very successful in “passing” students, it is questionable whether the information and knowledge obtained are of such a nature as to be valuable afterwards. The book is well adapted for its purpose, that of cramming.
