Mr C.L. Dodgson was a mathematician, known today for the
Dodgson Condensation, the method of computing the determinants of square
matrices. Our late Sovereign Lady, Victoria, by the Grace of God, Queen
Empress, of happy memory, was much taken by his ‘Alice’s Adventures in
Wonderland' and ‘Through the Looking Glass’. Her Majesty most graciously made
it known she would suffer Mr Dodgson’s next work to be dedicated to Her
Majesty. Mr Dodgson, inventor of the Red Queen, was literal as October follows
September. His next work was dedicated to his Sovereign Lady. It was entitled
’An Elementary Treatise on Determinants'.
