Excerpt from Récréations Mathématiques, Vol. 3: Le Calcul Digital; Machines Arithmétiques; Le Caméléon; Les Fonctions de Points; Le Jeu Militaire; La Prise de la Bastille; La Patte d'Oie; Le Fer à Cheval; La Jeu Américain; Amusements par les Jetons; L'Étoile Nationale; Rouge Et Noire
Quelques - unes des questions qui composent ce Volume ont fait l'objet de travaux antérieurs de Lucas; mais, pour la plupart des lecteurs, elles n'en seront pas moins inédites, en fait, car il serait bien difficile de se procurer les collections des recueils où les travaux dont il s'agit ont été insérés.
C'est assez dire que nous comptons que ce troisième Volume obtiendra du public scientifique la même faveur que les deux premiers.
Le quatrième Volume, que nous nous occuperons prochaine ment de faire succéder à celui - ci, et dont le manuscrit est entie rement de la main de Lucas, comprendra également sept récréa tions.
On remarquera peut-être l'absence des dédicaces originales et souvent profondes, sous leur forme humoristique, que Lucas avait coutume de mettre en tête de ses récréations. Les notes laissées par lui à ce sujet ne nous ont pas permis de les reconstituer d'une manière sûre, et nous n'avons pas voulu nous en fier à des renseignements plus ou moins hypothétiques sur ses intentions plus ou moins probables.
