The following note which deals with the effect of a certain determinantal operator when it acts upon a product of determinants was suggested by the original proof which Dr. Alfred Young gave of the property

subsisting between the positive P and the negative N substitutional operators, θ being a positive integer. This result which establishes the idempotency of the expression θ −1 NP within an appropriate algebra is fundamental in the Quantitative Substitutional Analysis that Young developed.
