Abstract
(1)THE growing tendency towards co-operation is shown by the increasing number of works that are published under joint authorship, but it is unusual to find an elementary text in which so many authors have collaborated as that before us. It is therefore with some curiosity that we peruse this experiment in multiple collaboration, for which all six authors would appear to have been collectively and severally responsible. If on one hand we are reminded of the proverbial benefits accruing from a multitude of council, on the other we recall that the broth of wisdom may suffer in homogeneity from too many compositors.
