What I normally see in older math books is all the information that has been dropped over time which is precisely what caused me to not understand what was going on.
So far I can see, this is a book about Galois theory, in the spirit of Galois himself. Probably one of the pioneering German books in this important field of mathematics, after first Liouville, then Serret and Jordan did it for the French school before. Oh, I just see that he is the student of Kronecker, who himself was a student of Kummer and Dirichlet, who was head of Göttingen school between Gauss and Riemann. So, Netto was surely a high level mathematician of his time.
A Google AI search claims that the theory of substitutions is about the mathematics of permutations, which I think has since been subsumed into Group Theory.

The supervisor of his doctoral thesis was Weierstrass

*That* is quite a find!
Aw man! You wrote with marker in an ancient book?? 😱

Looks expensive!
FIRST!
And first view!
