According to Ray McKenzie (Public Sculpture of Glasgow, Liverpool University Press, 2002, p. 195) the sculpture – which is called "The Mathematician" – is "of a boy of about ten years old sitting on a rock [... holding] a slate and piece of chalk, as if about to begin writing". It was sculpted by William Brodie in 1873-74. A small marble version of the sculpture is in the City Art Galleries, Dundee. Well, that's me got off to a good nit-picking start Best wishes Ronnie _________________ Take a walk on the Clyde side ...
