Abstract
© The History of Economics Society 2015.Although Cournot's mathematical economics was generally neglected until the mid-1870s, he was taken up and carefully studied by the Scientific Club of Cambridge, Massachusetts, even before his discovery by Walras and Jevons.

Peirce provides a subtle interpretation and anticipates Bertrand's criticisms.
