"Jerome Cardan was the most remarkable, and at the same time, one of the greatest men of the sixteenth century. More was written and said about him, and he himself wrote more, than almost any other writer of the age. He was a mathematician, and is celebrated as the inventor of one of the most important rules in algebra, which goes by his name. He was a physician, an astronomer, an eminent metaphysician and moral philosopher. He was called a polypus of science-cut off one head, and a score sprung uprefute him in one department, yet his fame and repu tation stood upon the footing of half a dozen others."
