    It is shown that the identity \[ \text{det} \left[{i+j \choose i} {2n-i-j \choose n-i}_{0\leq i,j \leq n} \right]= {\bigl((2n+1)! \bigr)^{n+1} \over (2n+1) !(2n)! \dots 1!} \] can be established by applying Lewis Carroll's determinant condensation method [see \textit{C. L. Dodgson}, Proc. R. Soc. Lond. 15, 150-155 (1866)].
