Mathematical Treatise: Containing I, the Theory of Analytical Functions, II, Spherical Trigonometry, With Practical and Nautical Astornomy

Excerpt from Mathematical Treatise: Containing I, the Theory of Analytical Functions, II, Spherical Trigonometry, With Practical and Nautical Astornomy

The man of science lives but in his study; and the history of his life, at least of that part of it which he himself deems worthy of publicity, is to be found in his writings.

Continually engaged in speculations for increasing the extent of human knowledge, or for ameliorating the state of human society, he judges that successes in these speculations are the prominent events of his life; and considers those circumstances which, however deeply they may affect himself, affect himself alone, as undeserving of the attention of mankind.
