SWhat changed
Represented continuous linear functionals on C[0,1] as Stieltjes integrals against bounded-variation functions.
Scientific scope
The record is Riesz's sole-author 1909 Comptes rendus note and its C[a,b] representation result. Because the original note was not directly inspected, the claim is limited to Riesz's later proofs and retrospective account; it does not absorb the distinct Hilbert-space representation theorem, later measure representations or all of functional analysis.
