Scope and content

TT thanks WW for his little work on Mechanics ['Mechanical Euclid', 1837]: 'Your remarks upon mathematical reasoning and Induction - which, as you will easily suppose, attracted my principal attention - appear to me to contain a great deal of very important matter; and I am glad to see the attention of men directed to the grounds of science. The producing of results is not all that is wanted in academical education; and this is a matter too often forgotten'.
