And of these shall I speak to those eager, That quality of wisdom that all the wise wish And call creative qualities And good creation of the mind The all-powerful truth Truly and that more & better ways are discovered Towards perfection --Zarathustra.

Re: Project Gutenberg: A synopsis of elementary results of pure mathematics

I should be sorry to have taken so long, but in any event I did not do
any more than get the copyright cleared several years back. I'm
certainly not happy about this situation, but it may be be a cloud
with a silver lining... or at least some tinsel dangling off of it.

At a couple of different occasions, we at PlanetMath were offered some
help setting up scanning and OCR operations. Perhaps now would be a
good time to act on those connections. AFAIK, OCR for math is still
spotty, and with an old text like that, probably especially bad. But
probably also not impossible, assuming that someone is willing to do a
bit of by-hand entry for at least some formulas. Again, sorry not to
have more specific information.

My I ask, what exactly was the nature of the inquiry you had about
this work?
