Abstract
MAJOR MACMAHON, the author of the well-known “Combinatory Analysis,” presents here, as a pastime, certain problems in tesselation and designing. Everything that he writes is carefully finished, and recreations invented by him are sure to be worth attention on their merits, while in this book the numerous scraps of poetry, with which, like Sylvester in former days, he adorns his pages, add a distinctive personal touch.
