Pp. xxx+468 and xii +520. 75s. net. 1930. Camb. Univ. Press. This monumental work treats in a thorough and masterly manner the geometry of Euclidean space of four dimensions and its various sub-spaces. The method employed in connection with curved configurations is substantially and amplification of that devised by Gauss in his treatment of curved spaces in three-space. This does not imply, however, that the results obtained are merely a generalization of the ideas and formulae of classical Differential Geometry. The additional dimension makes the subject a much broader one. The author introduces many new geometrical concepts and discusses them with the thoroughness and depth that we should expect of him. The thousand pages contained in the two volumes represent an enormous amount of clear thinking and skillful research, the net result of which is a substantial addition to mathematical knowledge and a valuable contribution to mathematical literature.
