Content and structure area

Scope and content

Notes on Troutbeck case towards the front of the volume. [This case, in which Sir Frederick Pollock acted for the claimants, was heard in the 1830s, and so the book may have been begun then, and only later used for mathematical notes].

Dates given for Pollock's mathematical notes run from 17 Dec. 1857 to 1 Mar. 1858. They include proofs under the heading 'a remarkable property of the odd squares is that any two adjoining ones may be represented thus...', p. 202-

Also present are notes on French vocabulary (p 256), and verse (pp 404-411).
