If a nonnegative quantity was so small that it is smaller than any given one, then it certainly could not be anything but zero. To those who ask what the infinitely small quantity in mathematics is, we answer that it is actually zero. Hence there are not so many mysteries hidden in this concept as they are usually believed to be. These supposed mysteries have rendered the calculus of the infinitely small quite suspect to many people. Those doubts that remain we shall thoroughly remove in the following pages, where we shall explain this calculus.

About Sir Richard Gardiner

Sir Richard Gardiner

Sir Richard Gardiner

Sir Richard Gardiner, Knight, (died 19 December 1489), was, in 1478, a Lord Mayor of London. He was Alderman of Walbrook Ward, and had been Sheriff of the City of London in 1469.

Richard Gardiner's parents were John and Isabella Gardiner of Exning, near Newmarket, Suffolk. He married Etheldreda (or Audria), (d.1505), daughter of William Cotton, Lord of the Manor of Landwade, in Cambridgeshire, who survived him and married, secondly, Sir Gilbert Talbot, Knight of the Garter, of Grafton, Worcestershire). By Audria, Richard Gardiner had one child, Mary, who in 1504 married Sir Giles Alington, Knt.

However, in a manuscript compiled by Allan Stanier, entitled Lord Mayors of London and their Parentage &c., 1308-1798, it states "1478, Sir Richard Gardyner, son of John Gardyner of Elsing, Norfolk", an obvious error.

In his Will, Richard Gardener [sic], Alderman of Walbrook Ward, left to Etheldreda or Audria, his wife, his lands, tenements, &c., in the parishes of St.Bartholomew the Less [towards the Royal Exchange], St.Michael Queenhithe, and Holy Trinity the Less, for her life, with remainder to Mary, Lady Alington, his daughter in tail [sic]. In default of an heir he leaves the sum of ten pence 'per diem' to five poor men in honour of the five wounds of Jesus Christ, and to five poor women in honour of the five joys of the Blessed Virgin Mary; the said men and women being nominated by the Mayor and Recorder, and by the Master of the House or Hospital of St.Thomas de Acon, in manner prescribed. The aforesaid tenements &c., to remain to the master of the house or hospital aforesaid and his successors subject to the above charge; remainder in case of default to the Chamberlain of the City of London on like condition. Dated 1st April 1488. Proved on Monday the Feast of St.Alphege, Bishop, 19th April, 1490.
