First printing of Poincaré's reply to Thomé's critique of an earlier paper by Poincaré. In his reply Poincaré ""seems to have created a theory of asymptotic expansions where previously there had only been ad hoc techniques, and to have opened the door for the return into rigorous mathematics of divergent series."" (Bottazzini, Hidden Harmony).
