I am not so sanguine myself, believing that the well in which Truth is said to reside is really a bottomless pit. The particular branch of the subject which I was publishing in the summer of 1887 was the propagation of electromagnetic waves along wires through the dielectric surrounding them. This is itself a large and many-sided subject. Besides a general treatment, its many-sidedness demands that special cases of interest should receive separate full development. In general, the mathematics required is more or less of the character sometimes termed transcendental. This is a grandiloquent word, suggestive of something beyond human capacity to find out; a word to frighten timid people into believing that it is all speculation, and therefore unsound. I do not know where transcendentality begins. You can find it in arithmetic. But never mind the word.
