There is no avoiding this necessity in any progressive branch of human knowledge, and the only thing that can be done to lessen the difficulty - next to the rigid exclusion of whatever seems superfluous is to explain these terms in brief and simple language. This I have endeavoured to do, chiefly with a view to the requirements of the general reader, at the. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
