	William Kingdon Clifford - LoveToKnow 1911
		WILLIAM KINGDON CLIFFORD (1845-1879), English mathematician and philosopher, was born on the 4th of May 1845 at Exeter, where his father was a prominent citizen.
		In 1876 Clifford, a man of high-strung and athletic, but not robust, physique, began to fall into ill-health, and after two voyages to the South, died during the third of pulmonary consumption at Madeira, on the 3rd of March 1879, leaving his widow with two daughters.
		As a philosopher Clifford's name is chiefly associated with two phrases of his coining, "mindstuff" and the "tribal self." The former symbolizes his metaphysical conception, which was suggested to him by his reading of Spinoza.

	Clifford, William Kingdon (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Clifford was born in Exeter, Devon, and educated at Cambridge, where he spent his academic career until 1871, when he was appointed professor of applied mathematics at University College, London.
		In this way representing motions in three-dimensional non-Euclidean space, and together with his suggestion in 1870 that matter itself was a kind of curvature of space, Clifford may be seen to have foreshadowed in some respects Albert Einstein's general theory of relativity.
		Clifford continued his studies in non-Euclidean geometry, with reference particularly to Riemann surfaces, which he proved to be topologically equivalent to a box with holes in it.

	The Ethics Of Belief
		The reader is advised to read the essays in the order presented here (which is the order in which they were written), as James’ essay is a response to Clifford’s essay, as well as to ideas of a like nature; and my own essay is a response to James’ essay.
		Indeed, even if my own essay is not as useful as I believe it to be, the availability of Clifford’s and James’ essays, reprinted in their entirety, in one convenient book, should prove worthwhile.
		In the essays by Clifford and James, the added footnotes are indicated by “–AJB”.
