'Carroll, Lewis' was the pen-name of Charles Lutwidge Dodgson (1832-1898). (The pseudonym reflects his love of word-games: Lewis and Lutwidge are both forms of the same name - Louis in French, Ludovicus in Latin, Ludwig in German; while Carroll echoes the Latin form of Charles, Carolus. The reversal of the order is his playing with the elements of his name.)

Dodgson, C. L. (1860) A syllabus of plane algebraical geometry, systematically arranged, with formal definitions, postulates, and axioms, Oxford.
