PREFACE.The object of this work is to supply the wants of those students who, for reasons connected with examinations or otherwise, wish to have a knowledge of " the elements of Elliptic Functions, not including the Theory of Transformations and the Theta Functions." It is right that I should acknowledge my obligations to the treatise of Professor Cayley and to the lectures of Dr. Glaisher, as well as to the authorities referred to from time to time. I am also greatly indebted to my brother, Mr. A. L. Dixon, Fellow of Merton College, Oxford, for his kind help in reading all the proofs and working through the examples, as also for his valuable suggestions.A. C.
