| Title | Unpublished paper, 'Introductory memoir on the plane stigmatics' by Alexander J [John] Ellis |
| Date | 1865-1866 |
| Description | Ellis proposes to 'employ the familiar conception of figures which are related to each other, point to point, according to some definite law, for the purpose, not merely of completely reconciling commutative algebra with plane coordinate geometry, but of obtaining new and more general results from the usual equations.' He also aims to 'furnish a new and extremely simple method of denoting relations of length and direction'.
