Content and context

`Theory of Numbers', 1946-47.

Davenport was approached, initially by E.A. Milne, to write a book on this subject as one of a series of mathematical works for the interested layman. The book was published in 1952 as `The higher arithmetic'.

4 letters from E.A. Milne, 1946, outlining the proposed series, the level of mathematics to be aimed for and the publishers' terms.

Letter from Hutchinson & Co., publishers, 1947, enquiring re Davenport's progress, with his reply apologising for the delay, due to pressure of work.

`The Natural Numbers'.

5pp. typescript draft, probably of introduction to the book.

6pp. untitled typescript draft, paginated 15-20.
