In October 1881 I published in the Quarterly Journal of Mathematics (xviii. pp. 110–149) a “List of Writings on Determinants,” which contained the titles of all the books, pamphlets, memoirs, magazine articles, &c, which were then known to me to exist on the subject of the Theory of Determinants. The list consisted of 489 entries arranged in chronological order, the first date being 1693, and the last 1880. During the three years which have elapsed since it was published, I have been steadily making manuscript additions to it, not merely in the way of continuation for the purpose of keeping it up to date, but also by the intercalation of omitted titles unearthed in the course of my own researches, or brought to my notice by obliging correspondents.
