Abstract
I SHALL begin with a method of proving that the number of prime numbers is infinite which is not new, but which it is worth while to recall as an introduction to a similar method, by series, which will subsequently be employed in order to prove that the number of primes of the form 4n + 3, as also of the form 6n + 5, is infinite.
