Abstract
IT is curious that the mathematical paradoxer should confine himself principally to the problem of “squaring the circle”—that is, to the attempt to prove that π is the root of a quadratic equation with rational coefficients, in algebraical language; while other simpler questions are at hand in which he might prove himself superior to the conclusions of ages, by solving the problems of the “duplication of the cube” and the “trisection of an angle.”
