Abstract
THIS miscellaneous collection falls into two parts. The first consists of eight lectures delivered to teachers in higher schools during a vacation course at Göttingen; of these the first is a sketch of the history of the Physical Institute at Göttingen and the instruction given there the others deal with various technical branches of applied science in which mathematics plays an important part. The second and probably, to the English reader, the more interesting part of the volume is a reprint of various essays and addresses by Prof. F. Klein, in which he dis cusses the relation of universities to technical high schools (technische Hochschule). Prof. Klein is clearly of opinion that in Germany these two classes of institutions have become unduly isolated from each other, and should aim at greater solidarity, working loyally for their common welfare.
