About the solution of algebraic equations and JH's previous work on this topic.
Is grateful to JH for calling attention to his paper on analysis. Has forwarded his letter to George Boole. Hopes he can quote it in his paper for the Manchester Philosophical Society. Sends a copy of his memoir from the R.S.P.T.
Comments on analytic symbolism in mathematics.
Is writing an article on the life and work of George Boole and would like JH's advice on one of D. F. Gregory's references.
Has not had time to finish the George Boole paper, but the biographical part is in print. Will send him the complete article when it is finished.
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.'
Intends applying for the chair of mathematics at Queen's College, Cork and would be grateful for a testimonial from JH.
