    More than one of my critics have justly reproached me for making no allusion to E. T. Whittaker's excellent and original little volume on The theory of optical instruments (Cambridge, 1907). Equally reprehensible, I may add, was my failure to mention also J. G. Leathem's Elementary theory of the symmetrical optical in- strument (Cambridge, 1908) } James P. C. Southall.
