OXFORD PAPERBACKS UNIVERSITY SERIES
The aim of Oxford Paperbacks University Series is to provide authoritative introductions to most of the important branches of the humanities and sciences. The series thus maintains the aims of the Home University Library, which was founded in 1911 and came under the Oxford imprint in 1941; all the enduring books in that series, like this one, will gradually be produced in OPUS in new editions after careful revision. New books too, will be added regularly to OPUS, and their authors, like their HUL predecessors, will be experts in their subjects, but selected also for their lucidity in presenting their learning to the layman.
