Abstract
IN many ways this book will prove a useful companion to treatises already available; especially, perhaps, on account of the large number of examples which it contains, and the hints for their solution. It may be confidently asserted that no example in group-theory is too elementary to be useful; the subject is on one side so very abstract, while on the other the individual properties of groups are numerous, and the protean disguises of the same group are amazingly varied.
