This book is the written word of many years of lecturing in Glasgow University. As these lectures have never been written as they were delivered, and as new matter was necessarily added to the lectures as it became available, the chapters of this book do not represent any one systematic series of lectures, though there is little in the book but what has been given at some time to the students. The process of writing such a book is very dissimilar to that of writing most books. Much of it at first was collected from lecture notes by one or other of my assistants. These collections were elaborated, modified, rewritten in parts, and finally corrected in the form in which they now appear. In the collecting and correcting process I was continually helped by my assistants and students, but the bulk of the assistance was given me by Mr J. G. Johnstone, B.Sc, to whom I am indebted for saving me a great deal of detail work in the collection of what I have given from time to time in my lectures.
