Abstract
THE appearance of this volume is very welcome for more reasons than one. Sylvester's papers were published in a variety of journals, and generally contained a considerable number of misprints; they will now be available in an attractive form, with their accidental blemishes removed by a very careful and competent editor. The work of preparing these papers for the press must be troublesome and tedious, and the thanks of mathematicians are due to Dr. Baker for having undertaken it. Special attention should be directed to the note at the end of the volume on Sylvester's theorems about determinants, some of which require correction.
