CONSTIT UT l ON ALT ST.
FRIDAY MORNING. AUG. 0,1867
[COMMUNICATED.]
Mr. Benson’s Geometry.
(11 Morton Street, New York, I
July 20th, 1867. j
To the Editor' of the Augusta Constitutionalist :
A friend has sent me a eopy ot your paper
containing an -.ujonymous communication in
relation t«. my Geometry (in press, and my
publications in general.
I have found from experience that every du,-
cnss'Oti is :i""Tavated more from the extrinsic
lHitirin-rs of iisnbjm than from the intrinsic
qualities the subject possesses. Any subject
viewed from different stand points becomes
fruitful of endless discussions without produc
ing any good. A man ot science first lays down
certain preliminaries showing wliat things are
to be granted and what things are to he investi
gated bclore he proceeds with the elucidation
of his subject. Because, when he is understood
in the beginning, the chances are that lie will be
understood throughout the course or his rea
soning and understood at the conclusion ot his
eubjeet. This is a pure scientific and rational
arrangement-—and when any subject Is present
ed in this manner, its discussion leads to no
c 'Ulroversv and is capable oi doing much piac-
I ,-ood. Ami in oheriiig a defense for my
Gcomet .'V in particular and my writings m geu
eial which .have been so severely attacked by
your anonymous correspondent, I will endea
vor to .ijvc it the scientific method and let the
tenor o? it show that in all my writings I am
actuated l.v the desire to advance the cause of
truth, and that petty triumphs in debates and
controversies do not. subserve tfec eauseol truth
and are to be deprecated by the investigator ol
truth. I lay it. down as preliminaries Ot prime
importance,, that every critic should consider
well the subject he criticises, should iet his zeal
be ou the side of truth so that when he sees
truth he shall know it and when lie meets blem
ishes lit! can analyze them in the crucible of
reason and obtain, amidst all the surrounding
dross, the unalloyed truth ; tb it he should
handle the subject iu a masterly way, so that
his criticisms may be just, lice from all taints
of prejudice and ill temper, and present the
subject from alpha to omega with the prima
facie evidence that he lias examined the sub
ject in its every bearing. With these pre
liminaries I will consider the criticisms ot your
correspondent and then proceed to defend my
writings. ....
Ills e iticisms betray a seventy which shows
ihat he has examined my productions for the
ran,-nose of detecting blemishes in them, and of
-ering the most vulnerable points of at
laek which render him incapable of consider.
' e subject he criticises and Bhow that
Kal is'uuHon the side of truth; therefore
when hVsees tn«lh he cannot know it-at the
wuCthe scope of his «»£
lions he take 3 are so pue?Ue that ue snows
StHDeeklg (lottstitutioimisl
himself incapable of handling the subject in a
■ masterly way—bis criticisms exhibit so much
ill temper that they are unjust, and are per
’ fectly saturated with prejudice and ill feeling;
I and the ODe-sided view by Which lie has
I regarded my productions prevents hint from
presenting them front alpha to omega , and
evinces the most prima facie evidence that he
1 has not examined them iu all their bearings.
I A careful perusal of my writings shows that
I my intention has been to condense scientific
knowledge, consequently what facts are found
1 floating about in encyclopedias I have present
ed in a few pages and sometimes in a few
sentences, though I lay no claim as a volumin
ous writer. I claim that when my productions
are properly compared with the facts and pres
ent state ot science, they will he found on the
side of advancement and progress, and totally
opposed to the idea that no improvement can
be made on the writings of those who existed
while science was in its cradle and human
knowledge in its swaddling elotli. The emi
nent writers who lived ccoturies ago are to he
regarded far ahead of the age in which they
flourished, but it is beyond ail reason to sup
pose them equal in knowledge and attainments
to those who live centuries after them, as it
will be to suppose that the most eminent
writers of the present age know as much as
those who will live centuries hence. The
school hoy of to-day knows as much of the
theory and law of gravitation as their illustri
ous promulgator himself, and has lire knowl
edge and experience gained from two hundred
years ; so the present school boy in point of
knowledge is superior to Sir Isaac Newton.
And if bis education be properly conducted
and his reasoning powers lie thoroughly exer
cised and judiciously employed, lie will Iq.
able front his superior advantages to give a
better explanation of the celestial mechanism
than is now found in the theory o! gravitation
and the Sgsterne dn Monde.
I arrived* in New York last. December and
soon became acquainted with prominent liter
ary gentlemen (if Ibis city, 1 lie various essays
1 laid published being my only means of intro
duction, as my visit here was for scientific and
literary purposes. 1 knew they would be the
best. I could offer. They were favorably re
ceived, anil in a little while 1 was elected a
member of the New York Association (or the
Advancement of Science and Art. At the
same time Professor G. 13. Doeliarly, Id.. I)., of
the College ol the City of New York, and l)r.
Horace Webster, President of the same college,
took quite an interest in my productions, anil
alter explaining my mathematical views to
them, the former gave me a high endorsement
of them with the approbation of the latter. I
then prepared a paper to read before I tie New
York Association for the Advancement of
Science and Art upon Geometry, showing (lie
deficiencies of that science, also excluding from
its method of reasoning the inelegant llediictio
ad Absurdum. After the reading of the paper
and the discussion which arose from it. a
committee was appointed to examine
my paper and to report upon it. The Associa
tion. alter receiving the report, recommended
my Geometry to the patronage of the public as.
a good work. (The testimonials from Prof.
Doeliarly and the New York Association for
the advancement of Beleuee and Art will be
found on the front page of my Geometry.)
Upon receiving these testimonials, 1 went be
fore the Board of Education of New York,
where I met the Superintendent of the Board,
Hon. S. 8. Randall, who took great interest in
my Geometry and made me sonic very vain a
hie suggestions in the arrangement of the, pro
positions, and upon oilier features of (lie work,
and gave me every assurance ol its introdue
lion in the Ward schools of New York. Prof.
J. G, Fox, Principal of the free schools of
Cooper Union, New York city, chairman of
the committee appointed by the New York As
sociation for the advancement of Science and
Art, will use my Geometry iu his schools. A
short time ago I received a letter Iront the
Rev. Tlios. A. Boone, Professor in Carolina
Female College, Ansonvillc, North Carolina,
from which I make the following extract:
“ Your new work on the elements of Geome
try (book first) lias been submitted to flic
President of Carolina Female College. lie lias
examined it critically, and endorses it as an
evident advancement oi ino science, in that It
..simplifies and in ets the capacity of le ifnors,
retains all Hie essentials ot the science, and is
equally as competent, for mental discipline as
the old reduclio ad absurdum .” i
I had a portion of my Geometry (first hook) !
printed to he sent for examination to various ■
schools, colleges and other places, hoping at an
early day to presi lit the whole work lor adop
tion in the educational institutions of the coun
try. My plan is to reduce the science of Geom
etry to its smallest compass, compatible with 1
all its essentials in the application (o the kin- <■
dred sciences—giving the much easier demon- 1
stratiou, the direct, in place of the difficult and <
round-about method—the indirect or reduclio
ad absurdum, and present the science in six
hooks, which will contain every proposition
requisite for a thorough understanding of the i
subject, carrying the pupil from its first defini
tions to the highest departments, by simple
and easy gradations, making this Text Book a '
valuable acquisition to both pupil and teacher, t
I am carefully revising the vvoik while in pro
gress to completion, and, being in stereotype
plates, any alteration to its advantage can lie
inade easily and quickly, so that when the work
is u°ne it will be presented free from all and
any reasonable objection which aker-rcileetion
can make, or the examination of others can find.
The high testimonials which 1 have received in
its favor wairant the expectation that when the
book becomes fully known, it will be used as a
Text Book universally throughout the country.
This consideration is sufficient to recommend
its examination byte tellers, as nothing ad
vances education more Ilian uniformity of
Text Books.
Very respectfully,
Lawrence S. ILjnson.
A Terrible Record. — The authorities in
ierreting out the crimes slated by Mrs. Mary
E. Blanchard to have been committed in her
house, on Dauphin street, liy Drs. Edmansou
and Williuann, and Mrs. Edinanson, upon
women seeking to avoid the shame of bringing
illegitimate offsprings into the world, have
tints far found all iter representations to he
true. It. is considered best, however, for the
peace of society tint the investigation shall go
no farther. Married women, whose husbands
are absent, and wlio are esteemed patterns ol
conjugal propriety,and single women, 'mixing iu
respectable circles, unsuspected of impmily,
have been among Lite patrons of this infamous
trio. The discoveries made through the dis
closures of Mrs. Blanchard, are, we are
assured, alarming. It can scarcely be said they
come unexpected, when grand-dames, with
gray ringlets, are to be seen on the streets, ex
posing half their bodies to the public gaze. In
this trading age every sort ol advertising is ap
preciated, and low-necked dresses, tilting hoops
and ornamented garters are signs universally
understood. — N. O. Crescent, 4th.
Maximilian’s Decree. —Much is said in the
Wade-Chandler press, when the attempt is
made to justify the murder of Maximilian,
about the “ bloody decree ”of October 2, 1 S G.‘>,
in which lie affixes a peualty for brigandage
and disorder under the pretence ol being ac
tuated by Republicanism and patriotism. Tiie
truth isi that Juarez was then supposed to have
left Mexico, and the armies of the Republicans
had ail been scattered and their remains were
in the mountains unattached. Besides, this de
cree is only a copy of (hat of Juarez, ol 1 SG:2,
three years before, under which, as a law, the
latter pretends to find justification for the exe
cution of Maximilian. So the former gave the
precedent. Nor can it. be shown that Maxi
milian ever himself executed this decree. On
the contrary, it was wormed out of him by the
French and Mexicans, and whenever a man
was condemned he saved him if he knew of it.

The Vißkisi.y Split.—The ease was dearly
like that of the Irishman who was pursued by
a hull across a field. Just as he reached the
fence lie was overtaken by llie l.irious beast.
With one toss of his horns, the latter landed
tiie man over the fence, and then stood bellow
iugami pawing the ground. “ None, of your
apologies, and none of your bowing and scrap
ing, ye wretch! ye did it of purpose ; ye know
ye did !” Baid the irate Irishman, as he recov
ered his perpendicularity. Mr. Bolts may with
equal eoulideuce dismiss ail idea that his late
humiliation was “an accident.” He must not
mistake Hunnicutt’s pos.-convention civilities
—his “ bowing and scraping ” alter the deed
was well done. He and the co-operators, in
’ eluding our cotemporary the Whig, were
“ kicked down stairs ” “of purpose.” Let
them set about resenting it., as they have a right
| to do. —Richmond Enquires- % Examiner)-.
