Description: from the Foreword:
These six lectures, delivered in England more than a quarter of a century ago, were among the earliest of J. G. Bennett's presentations of systematics. They are characterized by the author's customary clarity and his simplicity in the presentation of complex ideas. His examples of the working of systems range from writing with chalk on a blackboard to the revolution of the planets.
