Synopsis
Excerpt from A History of the Study of Mathematics at Cambridge
No one who has not been engaged in such a work can imagine how difficult it is to settle many a small point, or how persistently mistakes if once printed are reproduced in every subsequent account. In spite of the care I have taken I have no doubt that there are some omissions and errors in the following pages and I shall thankfully accept notices of additions or corrections which may occur to any of my readers.
