Abstract
SUCCESSIVE editions of a successful text-book are apt to lose something of their freshness. New wine is added to the dregs of the old, and though the store of knowledge grows, its flavour deteriorates. Books which deal with the recent advances of science cannot be compounded in this way, and each new edition must represent a fresh vintage.
