This is the complete Part III of the Philosophical Transactions, which also includes:
CAYLEY, "Memoir on the resultant of a system of two equations."
CAYLEY, "On the symmetric functions of the roots of certain systems of two equations."

WILLIAMS, C. Greville, "On some of the products of the destructive distillation of boghead coal."
HOPKINS, "Experimental researches on the conductive powers of various substances, with the application of the results to the problem of terrestrial temperature."
