Abstract
REPRESENTATION theory is a subject of many aspects, having important contacts with several branches of mathematics and mathematical physics. Even if text-books were much commoner than they are, there would still be room for an introduction to the subject so admirable as this. The very diversity of the theory demands a specialized outlook from those who write concerning it, but within the limits that implies, the account given by Prof. Littlewood is excellent.
