Excerpt from Lectures on the Principle of Symmetry and Its Applications in All Natural Sciences
The aim of the writer in publishing this volume is by no means to give an exhaustive treatise of the general doctrine of symmetry. His purpose is merely to draw the attention of students of mathematics and natural philosophy in general, to a principle of which the significance in the morphological description of objects, as well as in the definition of chemical and physical phenomena is gradually becoming more and more evident in every domain of research.

Excerpt from Lectures on the Principle of Symmetry and Its Applications in All Natural Sciences
After seriously testing the methods of argument hitherto elaborated, the writer has in many places finally adopted that of Schoenflies, chiefly because in his opinion it offers, from a teaching standpoint, undeniable advantages over the often not less happy and concise ways of treating the problem employed by authors such as Von Fedorow, Wulff, ViolaBarlow, Boldyrew, and others. However, many alterations and extensions have been occasionally made, chiefly with the intention of keeping the deduction as general as possible, even for cases which are of no special crystallographical interest, though doubtless important for biologists. The author is convinced that Mobius definition of symmetrical figures has some logical advantages above the somewhat dualistic definition of Von Fedorow and Schoenflies adopted here; and also, that from a mathematical standpoint, the methods of demonstration of Wulff and Viola, and more especially that of Boldyrew, may perhaps be considered more homogeneous. But he is convinced also that confusion is more readily created in the mind of students of these subjects, when all symmetry-properties are reduced to mere reflections in planes of different functions, than when the axial symmetry is considered as well. Attention is, however, occasionally drawn to several theorems demonstrated by the authors last named and their importance for certain purposes has in such cases been indicated as clearly as possible.
