โฆ Synopsis
typography is excellent, and it seems unfortunate that so exemplary a work should be marred by faulty illustrations Many of the cuts are rendered annoyingly indistinct by being unnecessarily crowded, and blurred by carelessness in their preparation or printing, or both.
In a text-book like this, intended to be studied as a whole from end to end, the absence of an index may perhaps be more readily condoned than in a book of reference, to be consulted occasionally for information on special subjects.
