Ozanam’s Récréations may be regarded as the forerunner of modern books on mathematical recreations. He drew heavily on the works of Bachet de Méziriac Mydorge Leurechon and Daniel Schwenter; his own contributions were somewhat less significant for he was not a particularly creative mathematician. The work was later augmented and revised by Montucla and still later was translated into English by Hutton 1803."DSB. </em> hardcover
