 render it unavailable for most purposes ; but it serves, in hands which know how to use it, to determine the places of 

 more important bodies.'— Pre/ace.

One of the most interesting and witty books ever written, and invaluable for its history and bibliography of some 

 scientific fallacies, e.g. 'circle-squaring'. It contains besides a large number of anecdotes, etc. on mathematical and 

 scientific subjects. ' He had a love of puns, and all ingenious puzzles and paradoxes, which makes his ' Budget of 

 Paradoxes ' as amusing as it is learned.' — Sir Leslie Stephen. 



' It is by far the most individual book of the age— individual, not merely in its own singularity as a book, but as 

 presenting with a marked degree of clearness and exactness the personality of one who was never quite a man among 

 other men ... To sura up, this is a book that should be read by those who care about circle squarers and all manner of 

 jokes, mathematical and other ; by those who care to make the acquaintar ce of Augustus de Morgan, which it is 

 well worth while to do ; but above all by those who care to be led into right thinking and warned from wrong.'— Pro/.

' His articles on the calculus of functions and on the theory of probabilities (v. Nos. 12129-30 vost) are worthy of special 

 note. The former contains an investigation of the principles of symbolic reasoning, but the applications deal with the 

 solution of functional equations rather than with the general theory of functions.'— JT. W. R. Ball.

One of the first works attempting to place logic on a mathematical basis. It caused an attack from Sir William 

 Hamilton, the metaphysician, who accused the author of having appropriated therein his doctrine of the 'quantification 

 of the predicate '. Prof, de Morgan's reply may be found in his Budget of Paradoxes.
