 the Mathematical Professorship in the QUEEN'S COLLEGE for TJ LSTER, by the LATE PROFESSOR of 

 MATHEMATICS in BELFAST COLLEGE, 8vo. (pp. 42), sewn, 2s Qd [1850] 



The very curious and remarkable story of the author's extrusion as an Episcopalian from his chair by the party deter- 

 mined 'to make the College Presbyterian from the porter to the Principal'. All the other nou-Presbyterian professors 

 shared the same fate, though the college was nominally undenominational.

5569 SECOND EDITION, enlarged, 8vo. cl., 5s 1843 



' Young rendered important service to English mathematical study by familiaring students with continental methods 

 of analysis. In 1849, on the opening of Queen's College, the Presbyterian party which controlled the professional nomina- 

 tions prevented Young's reappointment as professor in the new establishment. From that time he devoted himself more 

 completely to the study of mathematical analysis, and made several original discoveries '. D. IV. B.

 eye to a muscular structure of the crystalline lens. 



' He was one of the most clear-sighted men who have ever lived, but he had the misfortune to be too greatly superior in 

 sagacity to his contemporaries. They gazed at him with astonishment, but could not always follow the bold flights of his 

 intellect, and thus a multitude of his most important ideas lay buried and forgotten . . . till a later generation in tardy 

 advance remade his discoveries and convinced itself of the accuracy and force of his inferences '. Helmholtz.
