Description
An important figure in mathematical logic and abstract algebra, Augustus De Morgan (1806–71) also wrote wittily on paradoxical and illogical thinking through time. Edited by his widow and published in 1872, this entertaining work parades all varieties of crackpot, from circle-squarers to inventors of perpetual motion machines.
