      The author sketches the development of the theory of rings, emphasizing the noncommutative case, especially algebras over fields. The discussion starts with the work of British algebraists such as Peacock and de Morgan in the early nineteenth century, and mentions most of the major trends up to 1930 or so. A few more recent topics are also discussed.
