Full Description
A reprint of the second edition of this work after John Chipman Gray's death in 1915, by his son, Roland Gray, in 1921. The only differences are that some punctuation has been pruned, the odd error has been corrected, and layout has been changed slightly. Otherwise, this is Gray's original work.
