Extract

My last communication in reference to the history of axisymmetric determinants dealt with the period 1841–1859 (Proc. Roy. Soc. Edin., xxvii. pp. 135–166). The present paper continues the history up to the year 1880, but in addition contains an account of one contribution belonging to the previous period, namely, by d'Arrest (1857).
