Abstract
The definition of a group G by a presentation, that is, by a system of generators and defining relations, is a particular aspect of the abstract definition of a group. As such, it has been discussed in Chapter 3, Section 4 of an extensive study by H. Wussing [1969] on the genesis of the concept of an abstract group.
