Abstract
IN one of Mrs. Barbauld's stories a domestic fairy, with one touch of her wand, transforms a tangled heap of parti-coloured silk into an orderly array of neatly wound skeins. Not unlike this is the effect of group-theory upon mathematical analysis; and it has been truly said that, for some time to come, the progress of analysis will be approximately estimated by the advance in our knowledge of the constitution of groups.
