Abstract
THE lives of mathematicians, as a rule, are free from sensational episodes, and provide no material for spicy biographies. But these unobtrusive beings form a quaint and varied set; anl many people would be surprised to hear how many good stories are on record about their oddities, their accomplishmentsnay, even their displays of wit.
