Abstract
IN reply to Dr. Ingleby's note I may state that many papers by M. Chasles on various subjects in the history of Mathematics, are to be found in the volumes of the Comptes Rendus for 1837, onwards. His “Aperçu Historique” &c., originally appeared as a special volume of the Transactions of the Brussels Academy, but was sold as an independent work. It appeared in quarto, and was published in 1837. Like his “Traité de Géométrie Supérieure,” it is very rare, and fetches an enormous price. Mr. Quaritch is, perhaps, the most likely bookseller in London to be able to procure it. The German translation by Sohncke is comparatively cheap, and may be readily obtained through Messrs. Williams and Norgate.
