Excerpt from The Elementary Properties of the Elliptic Functions: With Examples (Classic Reprint)
The object of this work is to supply the wants of those students who, for reasons connected with ex aminations or otherwise, wish to have a knowledge of the elements of Elliptic Functions, not includ ing the Theory of Transformations and the Theta Functions. It 18 right that I should acknowledge my obligations to the treatise of Professor Cayley and to the lectures of Dr. Glaisher, as well as to the authorities referred to from time to time. I am also greatly indebted to my brother, Mr. A. L. Dixon, Fellow of Merton College, Oxford, for his kind help in reading all the proofs and working.
