ITEM: Rules of the Edinburgh Mathematical Society, published ca. 1900. 5x3 inches, folded sheet, 3pp. Curious little publication detailing the simple rules of the society. Nice condition. $45
From Wiki: "The Society was founded in 1883 by a group of Edinburgh schoolteachers and academics, on the initiative of A. Y. Fraser and A. J. G. Barclay, teachers at George Watson's College and Cargill Gilston Knott, who was the assistant of Peter Guthrie Tait, the professor of physics at the University of Edinburgh. The first president was J.S. Mackay, the head mathematics master at the Edinburgh Academy."
