Excerpt from The Theory of Determinants in the Historical Order of Its Development, Vol. 1: Determinants in General; Leibnitz (1693) To Cayley (1841) During the writing of my Treatise on the Theory of Determinants (macmillan Co, it was repeatedly forced on my attention that the history of the subject had been very imperfectly looked into. Not only, as it appeared, had injustice been done by the attribution of isolated theorems and demonstrations to authors other than the first discoverers, but the labours of the great founders of the theory had been disproportionately represented, and a considerable amount of' valuable work had actually been lost sight of altogether. This state of matters, it was clear, had its explanation in the fact that two of the foremost nationalities of Europe had not contributed their proper shares to the work of historical research. France, for some reason or other, had taken comparatively slight interest in any part of the subject; and England, though interested in the theory and contributing largely to its development, had been content as regards the history simply to accept and promulgate the results of German assiduity.'6 Not unnaturally, therefore, mathematicians in general had come to look at the history almost as it were through German spectacles.
