Scope and content

University, Birmingham. - Thanks Rouse Ball for the Cayley MSS, which he is very glad to have. Has a copy of Waring's Meditationes Analyticae (1776) once in the possession of Richard Watson, Bishop of Llandaff; the title page of this edition states that Waring was at Trinity, but Watson can find no suggestion that either Waring or the Lucasian chair had any connection with the college; asks if this is a misprint.
