While this provides a valid proof ( for matrices over the complex numbers ), the argument is not very satisfactory, since the identities represented by the theorem do not in any way depend on the nature of the matrix ( diagonalizable or not ), nor on the kind of entries allowed ( for matrices with real entries the diagonizable ones do not form a dense set, and it seems strange one would have to consider complex matrices to see that the Cayley – Hamilton theorem holds for them ).

Here are no colonies of Germans, as at Saint Petersburg ; no English factories, as at Lisbon: no multitudes of insolent Yankees lounging through the streets, as at the Havannah, with an air which seems to say, the land is our own whenever we choose to take it ; but a population which, however strange or wild, and composed of various elements, is Spanish, and will remain so as long as the city itself shall exist.
