[Lukasz T. Stepien]

 Dear Moderator 

   I ask you kindly to place in FOM, the following version of my post. 

                                                        Best regards

 Dear Prof. Marion 

  Maybe these informations will be useful for you (as I understand, you
have asked on an impact of the book: E. H. Neville, "PROLEGOMENA TO
ANALYTICAL GEOMETRY"). 

  Namely the book: E. H. Neville, "PROLEGOMENA TO ANALYTIC GEOMETRY IN
ANISOTROPIC EUCLIDEAN SPACE OF THREE DIMENSIONS" was cited in (according
to scholar.google.com): June Barrow-Green and Jeremy Gray, "Geometry at
Cambridge, 1863-1940", _Historia Mathematica_, vol. 33, 315 - 356
(2006). Next, the book: E. H. Neville, "PROLEGOMENA TO ANALYTIC
GEOMETRY" was cited in: P.D.  Barry, "Some Generalization in Geometry".
There in the book Henry George Forder, "The Foundations of Euclidean
Geometry", Cambridge at The University Press 1927, is cited: Neville,
"PROLEGOMENA TO ANALYTICAL GEOMETRY" . On the website
https://projecteuclid.org/euclid.bams/1183486021  you can find the
review (Author: B. H. Brown) of the book "PROLEGOMENA TO ANALYTIC
GEOMETRY IN ANISOTROPIC EUCLIDEAN SPACE OF THREE DIMENSIONS" , published
in:_ Bulletin of the American Mathematical Society_, vol. 30, no. 5-6,
271 (1924). 

                                                                        
         Best regards,

In the Preface, he alludes to Russell's _Principles of Mathematics_ as well as to _Principia Mathematica_ in order to motivate his particular take on the topic, but I could see what the rest of it owed specifically to ideas from Russell. My knowledge of both the history of mathematics and of foundations of mathematics is limited, so I wonder: would anyone know if the book had any impact?
