The New Student's Reference Work/Dodgson, Charles Lutwidge
Dodgson, Charles Lutwidge, better known by his pseudonym of Lewis Carroll, an English clergyman, mathematical lecturer and writer, was born in Cheshire in 1832, and died in Surrey on Jan. 14, 1898. He wrote a number of mathematical works of considerable repute, but to English and American popular readers he is best known by his delightful Lewis Carroll books—Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland; Through the Looking Glass; and The Hunting of the Snark. These works, with their amusing illustrations, are likely, as they deserve, to be of undying memory to little folks.
