Analogues are developed to the sum theorems in the dimension theory of metric spaces. It is shown that, within the class of metric spaces, any locally countable, σ-locally finite, or closure-preserving sum of finite-dimensional sets is countable-dimensional. Similar results are obtained under the more general hypothesis of countable-dimensional rather than finite-dimensional sets.
