Abstract
IN his review of Prof. MacGregor's “Kinematics and Dynamics,” on page 361, Prof. Greenhill tilts a lance against those whom he terms mathematical precisionists. I do not know this book, and I hold no brief in its defence; but as I owe to these precisionists whatever clear ideas I have on mechanics, I feel bound to enter into the lists on their behalf, little as they need my aid.
