Prehistory of Faà di Bruno's Formula

poraries on the series expansion of composite functions. Here, earlier work unnoticed in these papers is described. These anticipate many of the results attributed to others. This earlier work originates with Arbogast, with later reworkings by Knight, West, De Morgan, and others. The series expansion in powers of x of a suitably-differentiable composite function g(f(x)) has the form
