Report and Judgment relative to Count de Windischgratz's Problem

Published online by Cambridge University Press:  17 January 2013

Extract

At the same Meeting, Mr Commissioner Smith reported the opinion of the Committee appointed to examine the three Dissertations offered as Solutions of the Count de Windischgratz's Problem, [See supra, Aug. 6. 1787.]; which was, That none of the three Dissertations amounted, either to a solution, or to an approximation towards a solution of that problem. The Committee, however, intimated their opinion, that one of thefe Dissertations, superscribed with the following sentence, Si quid novisti rectius istis, &c. though neither a solution of the problem nor an approximation to it, was a work of great merit. The Royal Society, hereupon, pronounced their judgment in terms of the said report; and they requested Mr Fraser Tytler to transmit this judgment, and the opinion of the Committee by a letter to the Count de Windischgratz.
