...superb mathematician even in the company of the nineteenth-century geniuses. He was one of the last to work with equal success on several mathematical fronts, Poincare being perhaps the last who managed it. Clifford spun out the consequences of the new non-Euclidean geometries and of Abelian function theory; he also gripped the prickly legacy of Kantian skepticism and took to the lecture stand with clear thinking on different epistemological questions...
