Extract

The previous history of Wronskians being not at all lengthy, was included in the chapter on “Miscellaneous Special Forms” (History, i., chap, xvi.), and is to be found there under Wronski 1812, Wronski 1815, Wronski 1816–17, and Schweins 1825 (pp. 472–478, 482–485).

The name dates only from 1882, being first suggested on p. 224 of my Text-book on Determinants.
