| Title | Referee's report by George Peacock, on a paper 'Investigation of a new and simple series, by which the ratio of the diameter of a circle to its circumference may easily be computed to any required degree of accuracy' by William Rutherford |
| Date | 8 June 1841 |
| Description | Recommended for publication in the 'Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society', but not in full. Finds the title inaccurate. The method is not very novel. It is worth putting the formulae on record.
Subject: Mathematics
