Abstract
MR. GARNETT'S second edition does not differ in appearance from its predecessor. There is the same number of chapters, the headings of which for the most part are also the same, but new matter and more detailed explanation have resulted in the addition of some twenty-five pages. It may be noted as a feature of Mr. Garnett's work that there is a chapter on “The Dynamical Theory of Cases,” and a good one on “The Dimensions of Units.” We have used the first edition with great advantage, as the author fully discusses and illustrates the cruces of this subject, which is often so difficult to beginners, and we commend this improved edition to such readers and to all others.
