Abstract
PERHAPS one of the most regrettable consequences of the War, from a purely academic point of view, has been the inevitable loss of touch with current developments in Europe and the accompanying inaccessibility of standard Continental literature. The appearance of a photo-lithoprint reproduction, from the United States, of one of the classical treatises on function theory, which in pre-war years was rightly regarded as an indispensable possession of the pure mathematician, is thus an event of paramount interest and importance.
