Jeg kan godt lide forordet, hvor baggrunden for forelæsningerne er ridset op. Appendix er to kapitler fra Volume II som bruges meget i dette Volume III. Så det er meget behageligt at de lige er taget med som appendix.

Som det ses på rækkefølgen har trykkeren foruden at skære skævt af også byttet nogle af trykarkene. Opgaverne er dog udmærkede, selv om nogle af enheder er miles, inches og horsepowers.
