I mistakenly said that Dover reprinted the
Halsted translation. In fact, the Halsted
translation appeared in 1913, in a volume
entitled "The Foundations of Science."
The Dover paperback is a reprint
of the 1914 translation by Francis Maitland.
Poincare deleted a lot of his original articles
for their publication in his book.
I have not compared the Maitland translation
with the original, so I don't know if Maitland
introduced further deletions.
