Excerpt from Key to Robinson's Algebra: Containing, Also, a Short Treatise on the Indeterminate and Diophantine Analysis, and Some Miscellaneous Examples

So it is with an algebraist; he may go through his text-books, solve every problem, independent of all external aid, and if he does not compare his work with the works of others, he cannot know whether he is skillful or otherwise; for it is only by comparison that we measure excellence. No solution of a prob lem, or of an equation, should be called good, if better can be found; hence it is important that more than one standard of attainment should be before the pupil; and those who really become eminent, in any science.
