Mathematical Miscellany, the same names appearing as in the seventh. No public notice was given of the stoppage.

There were among those who were able to answer all of the questions, three of the five who are noted above as reliable.

(father of the present United States Senator from his native state). Mr. Root, the father, was subsequently, professor at the same college, Hamilton.
