Abstract

IN the multiplicity of text-books one naturally looks for evidence of the trend of progress as demonstrated in new editions and new volumes. We want to find the aim of the author and why he has considered it desirable to add one more to the books that are already so many that the teacher and the student find it difficult to select thfc one that will suit them best.
