Abstract
THE author of this volume has evidently devoted much research to the interesting study of magic squares, and though many results of his work were published in Amsterdam in 1931, it is pointed out that this book is not a mere translation of that work. New methods of composing magic squares of order 5 are given and, by a development of the uniform step method, constructions for squares of an order greater than 5 are deduced. Original practical rules are then enunciated for simple and pandiagonal squares of order 2n + 1. Symmetrical and bordered squares are also considered.
