Book Description
Excerpt from Elements of Algebra From the pleasure and instruction which he re ceived from Euler's Algebra, it was natural for him to wish to know something more of the life and character of that profound mathematician. Having therefore in some measure satisfied his curiosity, and collected the necessary materials, by consulting the ordinary sources of information, I advised him, by way of literary exercise, to draw up a biographical Memoir 'on the abject. He readily complied with my wishes; and this may be considered as one of his earliest productions. Its merits would do credit, in my opinion, to any writer; and therefore in appreciating them, the reader will not deem any apology necessary on account of the author's youth.
