Editorial Reviews

From the Publisher

  • "That is another of your odd notions," said the Prefect, who had a fashion of calling every thing "odd" that was beyond his comprehension, and thus lived amid an absolute legion of "oddities."
  • "As a poet and as a mathematician, he would reason well; as a mere mathematician, he could not have reasoned at all."
  • "We gave him a hearty welcome, for there was nearly half as much of the entertaining as of the contemptible about the man.."
