Abstract
THIS is a collection of curious ideas and essays, which the author has encountered in the course of much heterogeneous reading in ancient scientific works, in which there has been found any reference however remote to mathematical thought. Paradoxes and absurdities alone seem to be considered worth inclusion; the book is of little or no use as a contribution to the history of mathematics.
