| Title | Unpublished paper, 'Researches on the theory of invariants' by William Spottiswoode |
| Date | 1854 |
| Description | Invariants may be regarded from two points of view, the permutational and the functional. According to the former they are considered as arising from a process of permutation, according to the latter as derivatives from other functions. Spottiswoode adopts the latter course, and demonstrates his method.
