Abstract
I BEG to call attention to a typical error in a formula which appears to have run through ten editions of Ganot's well-known treatise. It is one not difficult of discovery by that somewhat too rare class of students who carefully plod through all the steps which lead up to it, but very likely to be overlooked by the more common class who are content to extract the formula as it stands with the undoubting faith reasonably based on “Tenth Edition, revised and enlarged.”
