In 1864 this department was reprinted in a daughter journal: Mathematical Questions with Their solutions from The Educational Times (MQ).

Cayley chose a historical treatment to explain the prevalent basic notions of analytical geometry, concentrating his attention in the period (1638–1750). Topics Cayley discussed include the geometric interpretation of complex numbers, the theory of pole and polar, points and lines at infinity, plane curves, the projective definition of distance, and Pascal’s and Maclaurin’s geometrical theorems. The paper provides a commentary on this lecture with reference to Cayley’s work in geometry. The ambience of Cambridge mathematics as it existed after 1863 is briefly discussed.
