Abstract
THESE works are partly if not principally intended for the use of students of the Science and Art Department, South Kensington. It is very essential, therefore, that not only should the matter be put in a pleasant and readable form, but that there should be no serious errors, as students of elementary works cannot be expected to recognise errors as such, from any knowledge they may possess on allied subjects. In fact they, and many others besides, find a difficulty in conceiving that what is printed in a book need not necessarily be correct. It is also necessary that the chapters should be well arranged, with the matter well assorted under headings, and that nothing of importance should be omitted.
