HYMNS OF THE FAITH

(DHAMMAPADA)

Being an Ancient Anthology Preserved in the Short Collection of the Sacred
Scriptures of the Buddhists. Translated from the Pâli by ALBERT J.
EDMUNDS. Cloth binding, gilt top. Printed on India tint paper. Pages,
xiv, 110. Price, $1.00.

"This celebrated ancient anthology of Buddhist devotional poetry was com-
piled from the utterances of Gotamo and his disciples; from early hymns by
monks; and from the popular poetic proverbs of India. . . .

"If ever an immortal classic was produced upon the continent of Asia, it is
this. Its sonorous rolls of rhythm are nothing short of inspired. No trite
ephemeral songs are here, but red-hot lava from the abysses of the human soul,
in one out of the two of its most historic eruptions."—Translator's Preface.

Defining the elements of geometry, points, straight lines, and planes, as abstract things, Professor Hilbert sets up in this book a simple and complete set of independent axioms defining the mutual relations of these elements in accordance with the principles of geometry; that is, in accordance with our intuitions of space. The purpose and importance of the work is his systematic discussion of the relations of these axioms to one another and the bearing of each upon the logical development of the Euclidean geometry. The most important propositions of geometry are also demonstrated and in such a manner as to show exactly what axioms underlie and make possible the demonstration. The work is therefore not only of mathematical importance as a contribution to the purifying of mathematics from philosophical speculation, but it is of pedagogical importance in showing the simplest and most logical development of our analysis of space relations.
