Extract

Considering the undeniable importance of a conformity to correct principles in carrying out the processes which must he resorted to for the purposes above mentioned, it is not a little remarkable that no work exclusively on the subject has hitherto appeared. If we except Mr. De Morgan’s and Mr. Sang’s Essays and the Observations scattered through the writings of Mr. Babbage, Mr. David Jones, Mr. Samuel Brown, and one or two others, we believe it may be truly said that scarcely any allusion to it is to be found.
