Excerpt from The Open Court, Vol. 30

The present volume is the result of a conscientious reading and rereading of the entire proceedings of Congress since the introduction of the Gore Resolution and the McLemore Resolution, and of a faithful attempt to make a just and fair record of the sentiments of Senators and Representatives as set down in the Congressional Record.

This book is a record of what was said by twenty-six United States Senators and eighty-nine Representatives in Congress in the great debate over the question of warning Americans not to travel on armed belligerent merchantmen.

This volume contains a translation of the two very important memoirs of George Cantor on transfinite numbers which appeared in 1895 and 1897. These memoirs are the final and logically purified statement of many of the most important results of the long series of memoirs begun by Cantor in 1870. A very full historical account of this work and the work of others which led up to it is given in the introduction and the notes at the end contain indications of the progress made in the theory of transfinite numbers since 1897. This book is a companion volume to Dedekind's Essays.
