Abstract
MATHEMATICAL science has suffered a grievous loss by the death of Prof. Cayley, which occurred on Saturday last, at Cambridge. There is hardly a branch of pure mathematics which is not indebted to him for original contributions of the highest value, while the important problems which have been elucidated by him are so numerous, and cover so wide a field, that he was certainly one of the greatest mathematicans which the world has ever known.
