Facts And Comments

PREFACE, DURIKG the years spent in writing various Pya ternatic works, therc have from time to time arisen idcas not fitted for incorporation in them. Binny of these have found places in articles published in reviews, and arc now collected together in the thrcc voIumes of my essays. But there remain a number which have not - yc t found expression some of them relatively trivial, some of more interest, and some which I think are important. I have fclt reIuctant to let these pass anrecordcd, and hence during the last two years, at. intervals now long and now short, 21a7e set them down in t. he following pages. Possibly to a second edition I sllall make some small adtlitions, but, be this as it may, the volume herewith issued I can say with e e t a i n w t il l be my last. BRIGRTO X X a, reh, 1902.
