FIRST EDITION, CLOTHBOUND ORIGINAL; with a preface that indicates the same importance of the Supplementary Volume compared to the First Edition: ''The present [Supplementary-]Volume contains all that Professor Boole wrote for the purpose of enlarging his Treatise on Differential Equations. Had he lived to publish the second edition he would doubtless have incorporated his more recent investigations with the original work, and it is therefore necessary to explain why another plan has been adopted. In some cases Professor Boole had indicated that certain portions of the original work were to be omitted and their places supplied from the manuscripts; . . . The design of reconstructing the Treatise was therefore abandoned; and it was resolved that the original volume should be reprinted, and that the manuscripts should be collected and published seperately. . . I have printed all the unpublished matter relating to Differential Equations which I found among Professor Boole's papers. . .''(from the Preface of I. Todhunter). - Spine loose at frontjoint and starting to loosen at rearjoint from top; else a very good copy, AS RARE AS THE VERY FIRST EDITION. . . Seller Inventory # 2202210077xjqt
