Extract

Whereas the works on Trigonometry, Geometry and Determinants were published over the name of Charles L. Dodgson, Student and Mathematical Lecturer of Christ Church, Oxford, the two small works on Logic—The Game of Logic and Symbolic Logic, Part I — and the two interesting logical notes in Mind appeared over the signature of the creator of Alice. Thus on the theory of double personality which the Rev C. L. Dodgson tried so hard to establish (and so unsuccessfully, since his was a completely integrated though singular personality), the formal works on logic are to be classed with those informal ones which are the delight of the civilised world.
