Excerpt from Selections From the Papers of the Late Thomas Wright Hill The late Mr. Thomas Wright Hill was in the habit of employing the spare hours of a very long life in philosophic pursuits, he however never published anything. Feeling a strong desire that any useful suggestions which might be contained in his various writings, should not be lost to the world, Mr. Hill on his death-bed requested that such of his MSS. as were in a sufficiently perfect state should be printed. His request is complied with by the present publication. It will be seen that many of Mr. Hill's speculations are of an abstract character, but it is thought that they will not be found altogether devoid of philosophic value. Some of them, however, are of a nature to be more directly useful, for instance, his definition of a straight line (p. 62), and his mode of finding the day of the week of any date (p. 89).
