Extract

Mr. D.K. Picken has done well to direct attention to the unsatisfactory nature of the elementary discussion of the Simple Pendulum, current in the text-books.

What is usually passed off as a proof is a downright wicked deceit, and deserves the serious attention of the advocate of rigour, when he can spare time to look elsewhere, beyond a fundamental axiom or a convergency test.
