Low,1885),from which this text isedited,since when it has beenout of print.It will be observedthat the angle in the diagram ofthe cheese on p.22 is one of go°,and not 45°in accordance withthe text.As this error was madein the early editions,it isthought best to leave it alone,save for this brief comment.  \nThis edition,printed on hand-made paper in Baskerville II-pt.byPurnell
