(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. [ Hartford Times. 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)-. f " A fellow named Mitchell was arrested. in St. ' Louis Sunday for being drunk.
