Earlier this year Professor W. L. Edge drew my attention to the paper (1). Since Black probably wrote his paper about 1890, the integral he considered must have been one of the earliest n-variate integrals to be evaluated. The present paper generalizes Black's result from a column vector as variate to a rectangular matrix—his integral is the case p = m = k = 1 of the integral J below.
