Oxford, in May 1850; and from 1852 till 187o held a studentship there. He took a first class in the final mathematical school in 1854, and the following See also:year was appointed mathematical lecturer at Christ Church, a See also:post he continued to fill till 1881. In 1861 he was ordained See also:deacon, but he never took See also:priest's orders, possibly because of a stammer which prevented See also:reading aloud. His earliest publications, beginning with A See also:Syllabus of See also:Plane Algebraical See also:Geometry (1860) and The Formulae of Plane See also:Trigonometry (1861), were exclusively mathematical; but See also:late in the year 1865 he published, under the See also:pseudonym of " Lewis Carroll," Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, a See also:work that was the outcome of his keen sympathy with the See also:imagination of See also:children and their sense of fun. Its success was immediate, and the name of " Lewis Carroll " has ever since been a See also:household word.

Clarke was produced at See also:Christmas, 1886, and has since enjoyed many revivals. Mr Dodgson was always very fond of children, and it was an open See also:secret that the See also:original of " Alice " was a daughter of See also:Dean See also:Liddell. Alice was followed (in the " Lewis Carroll " See also:series) by See also:Phantasmagoria, in 1869; Through the Looking-See also:Glass, in 1871; The See also:Hunting of the Snark (1876); See also:Rhyme and See also:Reason (1883); A Tangled See also:Tale (1885); and Sylvie and See also:Bruno (in two parts, 1889 and 1893). He wrote skits on Oxford subjects from See also:- TIME (0. Eng. Lima, cf. Icel. timi, Swed. timme, hour, Dan. time; from the root also seen in " tide," properly the time of between the flow and ebb of the sea, cf. O. Eng. getidan, to happen, " even-tide," &c.; it is not directly related to Lat. tempus)

time to time. The See also:Dynamics of a Particle was written on the occasion of the contest between See also:Gladstone and Mr Gathorne See also:Hardy (afterwards See also:earl of See also:Cranbrook); and The New See also:Belfry in ridicule of the erection put up at Christ Church for the bells that were removed from the See also:Cathedral See also:tower. While " Lewis Carroll " was delighting children of all ages, C. L. Dodgson periodically published mathematical works—An Elementary See also:Treatise on Determinants (1867) 1
See also:Euclid, See also:Book proved Algebraically (1874); Euclid. and his See also:Modern Rivals (1879), the work on which his reputation as a mathematician largely rests; and Curiosa •Mathematica (1888). Throughout this dual existence Mr Dodgson pertinaciously refused to acquiesce in being publicly identified with " Lewis Carroll." Though the fact of his authorship of the " Alice " books was well known, he invariably stated, when occasion called for such a pronouncement, that " Mr Dodgson neither claimed nor acknowledged any connexion with the books hot published under his name." He died at See also:Guildford, on the 14th of January 1898. His memory is appropriately kept See also:green by a cot in the Children's See also:Hospital, See also:Great See also:Ormond See also:Street, See also:London, which was endowed
perpetually by a public subscription.
