I hope they will fufpend their opinion, and not pass a too hafty cenfure, on account of the obfcurity of the Author, till after they have given it a fair and candid perufal, and then proceed to judgment with candour and impartiality. I do not pretend to much knowledge in the Mathematics, ha ving been brought up in a way of life, very different from my inclination; yet, what time I could fpare from bufinefs and the demands of my family, I chofe to employ in fuch studies; and have, by dint of ftudy, only, and without any other instruction, made fome progrefs in mathematical Sciences; of which, Geometry is the firft, and a fure key to the reft. Since I have made myfelf, by felf-application, a Proficient in Geometry, and have made fome branches of the Mathematics my Study and Profeffion, I have often been furprized at the negligence and deficiency of our common Schools, for the cultivation of Youth who are intended to fill the middle fphere of Life, in mechanic Trades, &c. They, almoft in general, pursue one common Plan or track of Learning. After the fift and necessary branches, Reading, Writing, and Arithmetic; which, indeed, might be acquired in half the time it ufually is; the next step (if the Pupil has made a progrefs thro' Arithmetic in any reasonable time) is the Grammar of the Latin Tongue through which, he fweats and labours to little purpofe. If the Pupil has three or four years to spare, before he goes out to bufinefs, he perhaps gets into the Cordery or Erafmus; or, if he reaches Cornelius Nepos, he is looked on as a prodigy. Now, it may reasonably be asked, for what purpose all this Time has been spent? which might have been employed to much A better i5 1. 20 2.21 9.11 Prob. 31. 27 to the 15. 10. 12 Prob. 32. 28 16. 10 22 11.13 Prob. 30. 12 23 and 24 are 14 and 15.-831 are in the 17. 29, 30 and 19-Cor. 1. 12 ufelefs. 16 9.32 Cor. 1. 17.
