Dig farther back into antiquity :-). There were a few folks who sent their
ballots back to the main list and I believe you've located one of those.

==========================================================
The world of ideas which it [mathematics] discloses or illuminates, the
contemplation of divine beauty and order which it induces, the harmonious
connexion of its parts, the infinite hierarchy and absolute evidence of the
truths with which it is concerned, these, and such like, are the surest
grounds of the title of mathematics to human regard, and would remain
unimpeached and unimpaired were the plan of the universe unrolled like a map
at our feet, and the mind of man qualified to take in the whole scheme of
creation at a glance.
-- Sylvester, J.J. (1814 - 1897)
