Empirical Processes with Applications to Statistics

equations as something "which Cauchy never even wrote" is obviously a wrong translation, what was meant being something like "which Cauchy did not write here". I have kept a list of dozens of lesser errors, but at least this translator does not fall to the depths of rendering Abel's famous statement "Cauchy est 'fou' " by "Cauchy is a fool" [3, p. 25]. The presentation of the book is scandalously bad, especially for a publisher with a great tradition of excellence. Apparently it was reproduced from a "camera-ready text," as the saying goes. The result is ugly and hard to read. The paper is flimsy and tears easily. The foregoing review does not do justice to the book. To those mathematicians who would like to know how classical analysis developed, I can only say, Read it!
