Recenzii
the book is an important contribution to the history of the mathematical sciences in Great Britain during the Georgian period, filling a definite chronological gap. It is, moreover, complementary to historical works on British scientific and educational institutions.
The book is a very thorough piece of scholarship. It features a few well-chosen archival images and contains a substantial bibliography and index. It will be of importance to all those with an interest in British mathematical and scientic practitioners of the late 18th and early 19th centuries.
The editor has done an outstanding job in selecting key examples of Huttons vast correspondence while providing extensive contextual notes for each letter. Recommended.
