It is a singular honour to be invited to deliver a lecture commemorating the work of Sir Edmund Whittaker, especially before the Edinburgh Mathematical Society, whose development owes so much to his initiative and co-operation. But when I reflect on the difficulties of the task I can only exclaim in the words of St Jerome's preface to his translation of the New Testament, “Pius labor, sed periculosa praesumptio”.
