About the solution of algebraic equations and JH's previous work on this topic.
Comments on analytic symbolism in mathematics.
Expresses thanks for RH, in a paper on George Boole in the British Quarterly Review, giving JH credit for having published 'my introduction of the mode of separation of the symbol of differentiation from the differentiated function and executing on it operations analogous to those of common algebra.'
