This Tale originally appeared as a serial in The Monthly Packet, beginning in April, 1880. The writer’s intention was to embody in each Knot (like the medicine so dexterously, but ineffectually, concealed in the jam of our early childhood) one or more mathematical questions-in Arithmetic, Algebra, or Geometry, as the case might be-for the amusement, and possible edification, of the fair readers of that Magazine.Contents: Knot I Excelsior, Knot II Eligible Apartments, Knot III Mad Mathesis, Knot IV The Dead Reckoning, Knot V Oughts and Crosses, Knot VI Her Radiancy, Knot VII Petty Cash, Knot VIII De Omnibus Rebus, Knot IX A Serpent with Corners, Knot X Chelsea Buns.
