Boscovich's (1757) proposal to estimate the parameters of a linear model by minimizing the sum of absolute deviations subject to the constraint that the mean residual be zero is considered. The asymptotic theory of the estimator confirms a remark of Edgeworth who called it a ''remarkable hybrid'' between \(\ell_ 1\) and \(\ell_ 2\) methods.
