7674 EUCLID : DODGSON (Charles Lutwidge, deacon; 'LEWIS CARROLL,' author of l Alice in Wonder- 

 land ') EUCLID and his MODERN RIVALS, with frontispiece and diagrams, post 8vo. cl. (SCARCE), 

 1. 55 1879 



' His oue valuable contribution to mathematics is ' Euclid and his Modern Rivals ' (1879). Many, excusably, refused 

 to accept the book seriously. It was dedicated to the memory of Euclid, and thrown into dramatic form, while scattered 

 up and down it were many jokes . . . But when stripped of its external eccentricities it was a really serious contribution 

 to Euclidean geometry, and went far to vindicate the unique position of Euclid's elements as a first text-book of geometry, 

 by a careful and systematic examination of the various treatises which had been produced by way of substitutes 

 for it.' D. N. B.

' Watson enriched the work with many additions of his own, and the English edition has this superiority over the 

 French that it contains a supplement (on the Action of Oars) which Euler sent the translator in MS. just as he had 

 finished the translation of the published French work. Watson applied the principles laid down in the construction of 

 the vessels he built in India, which proved the fastest vessels then built.' Col. Vetch, R.E.

7682 ELEMENTS of ALGEBRA, translated from the French [by FRANCIS HORNER, M.P.], with 



the Notes of DANIEL BERNOULLI, and the Additions of J. L. LAGRANGE ; 4th edition, revised by 

 JOHN HEWLETT, B.D., with MEMOIR by HORNER, thick 8vo. boards, uncut, 5s 1828 



The translation was the first work of that remarkable man Francis Homer, who matriculated at Edinburgh University 

 at the age of fourteen ; the first edition was published in 1797, in his nineteenth year. Two of his nieces, Mrs. Lyell and 

 Miss Joanna Homer, are still alive (April, 1912) a striking link with the Eighteenth Century. 



7683 FIFTH EDITION, thick 8vo. cl., 6s 1840 



' The first volume treats of determinate algebra. This contains one of the earliest attempts to place the fundamental 

 processes on a scientific basis. This work also includes the proof of the binomial theorem for an unrestricted index . . . 

 The second volume treats of indeterminate or Diophantine algebra. This contains the solution of some of the problems 

 proposed by Fermat, which had hitherto remained unsolved.' W. W. E. Ball.

4 The first text-book on the differential calculus which has any claim to be regarded as complete ; and it may be said 

 that many modern treatises on the subject are based on it.' W. W. R. Ball.

' They were the most complete and accurate works on the calculus at that time, and contained not only a full summary 

 of everything then known on this subject, but also the Q and y Functions [invented by Euler], and other original 

 investigations.' Prof. Cajori. 



The supplementary volume, published in 1845, is scarce, and often wanting.
