The Mathematical visitor

In the collection
In England and Europe periodical publications have contributed much to the diffusion of mathematical learning, and some of the greatest scientific characters of those countries commenced their mathematical career by solving the problems proposed in such works. It was stated nearly three-quarters of a century ago that the learned Dr. Hutton declared that the Ladies' Diary had produced more mathematicians in England than all the mathematical authors in that kingdom. Similar publications have produced like results in this country. Not a few of our ablest teachers and mathematicians were first inspired with a love of mathematical science by the problems and solutions published in the mathematical department of some unpretending periodical.
