Preface

This little work being simply a reproduction of a student's private note

book, which through the kind courtesy of Dr. Pepper he has received

permission to submit to his fellow students in a printed form, it must be

understood that for all inaccuracies and misrepresentations of the lecturer's

actual statements which may be found therein, the compiler alone is directly

responsible.
