Exposition of a general Theory of linear Transformations. Part I-II. (November 1841 a. May 1842).

8vo. Unbound without wrappers. In: "The Cambridge Mathematical Journal", Vol. III. IV,292 pp. (Entire volume offered). Boole's paper: pp. 1-20 a. 106-119.

First appearance of Boole's work on algebraic invariants, the starting point of the theory of invariants.

"This was the starting point of the theory of invariants, so rapidly and extensively developed in the second half of the nineteenth century; Boole himself, however, took no part in this development."(DSB).

The volume contains other papers by Boole "On the Transformation of definite Integrals", pp. 277-283 and "Remarks on a Theorem of M. Catalan", pp. 277-283. Also 6 papers by Arthur Cayley.
