The learned professor of Higher Geometry in the university of Genoa has undertaken to write a treatise on The Exact Sciences in Ancient Greece. The treatise will consist of five books, the first being devoted to the period of preparation, the second to the period of greatest splendour, the third to the period of decadence or the epoch of the commentators, the fourth will trace the mathematical discoveries incidentally made by the Greek astronomers and surveyors, and the fifth will treat of the arithmetic of the Greeks.
