Excerpt from The Mathematician, Vol. 3
In concluding their third and last volume, the Editors of the "Mathematician" beg to return their heartfelt thanks to their contributors and supporters, who have enabled them to continue the work to its termination. They cannot look at the number, value, and variety of the papers which appear in the work, without a feeling of lively satisfaction that they have been the means of bringing before the public so many valuable additions to pure science. Nor was it without deep regret that they found themselves obliged to abandon the further prosecution of their original design - especially at the time when the value of the work seemed to be appreciated by the mathematical public in general. Though this step was inevitable, they for a while entertained a hope that it would be taken up under other auspices, and under such management, that they could confidently recommend it to the continued support of all those friends who had so generously contributed to its support hitherto. That hope has not been realized; and they now issue the supplementary number (as promised on the cover of Vol. III., No. 6) without being able to hold out the least hope of the blank, which is thus created in our mathematical literature, being filled up.
The design of the work was so amply explained in the original prospectus, (reprinted in the first number) that the Editors feel it unnecessary to recapitulate any part of it in this place.
