The literature already contains several theories of limits which have great generality (10; 12; 1; 5; 6; 13; 3; 14; 4, p. 34). Nevertheless, the intrinsic importance and frequent use of the concept may justify the publication of another variant, provided that it has advantages in ease of application without sacrifice of generality. The theory of convergence studied in this note includes the other theories and their applications in a smooth way, without artifice.
