LOIZEAUX BROTHERS to publish an edition of those books in such form as they shall consider most suitable. C. H. MACKINTOSH. _6 West Park Terrace, Scarborough, May 1st, 1879._ PREFACE Having read the proof-sheets of the following “NOTES ON NUMBERS,” I am prepared, so far, to write a preface. It is with no view of praising the book that I do so, but to show my fellowship with the well-known author in all his labors. The book will speak for itself, and the reader must judge.
