'I have not time. I have not time'

And so we come to 1830. The French masses revolted, and Galois was a staunch supporter of their stance. So much so that we wrote ...

should be he wrote not we wrote surely?

Fixed

There's another typo.... (sorry)

Just before the mathsy bit, it says

"Chevalier kept everything that Galois had sent him, and eventually copies of the papers found their way to Joseph Liouville, an eminent French mathematician of the 18th Century."

but it should say

"Chevalier kept everything that Galois had sent him, and eventually copies of the papers found their way to Joseph Liouville, an eminent French mathematician of the 19th Century."

since 1843, when Liouville announced Galois' work, is in the 19th century!
