Title | Paper, 'Note on Rev Robert Harley's paper "Professor Malet's classes of invariants identified with Sir James Cockle's criticoids"' by John C [Christian] Malet |
Date | 1885 |
Description | Malet writes: 'In 1882, a paper of mine “On a Class of Invariants” appeared in the “Philosophical Transactions”, in which I used, for the determination of theorems, two classes of functions of the coefficients of linear differential equations. In consequence of a communication from the Rev Robert Harley [see PP/6/6], I appended to the paper the following note:— “Since the publication of the abstract of this paper, the Rev R Harley has mentioned to me that the first class of functions treated of here have [has] been already investigated by Sir James Cockle; having consulted the memoirs I was referred to by Mr Harley, I think little similarity will be found between Sir James Cockle’s results and mine.”'
