 * Keep The article does assert notability, by stating that the book was edited and expanded to produce an American edition (an effort that a total failure would not earn). The book is described as influential and has been covered in not insignificant depth . I think that's a decent extent of secondary-source coverage for a casual search to turn up about a 200-year-old book. At worst, this looks to be a case for editing and merging; the article Edward Augustus Kendall would be a good target. XOR&#39;easter (talk) 05:41, 15 July 2020 (UTC)
