A PRODIGY.
There Is now otle•red to the notice of the British Public, ftt No. IS 5, New Bo.ld-
street, a Child of only Seven years of age, whose extraordinary entlawinent% of. mind
hare not been equalled by any thing recorded of ancient or modern times His
ers of mind, as relates to numbers, are almost supernatural.
This Bov, totally without education, possesses such intuitis e faceltv of com-
bining and resolving numbers, together with such a wonderful memory, that i.e not
ouly adds, multiplies, and divides quantities, involving et., a raltions, but can also
evtract the square and cube root of almost any number, however large, and this
sithout the aid of pen or pencil, and in a time inconceivalely abort. lie extracts
tbe square or cube of any number within a million in less than n minete, and re-
duces to minutes or seconds the age of any one present, almost instantaneously.
As a seeming i odes to the wonders of his !nivel. Nature has marked the person of
tt is Child by peculiarities. which are of themselves no small curiosity. He has six
Iverson each hand, and six toes on each foot. This wonderful Bey, whose name
i 5 Zerah Coition', was burn in the village of Cabot, 14 itti at e in that part of the St.tte
of Vermont called the Green Mountains, ia the halted St7:tes of America. Het has
been exhibited in Philadelphia, New York, and Boston, to the afe*onislutieut and
admiration of the Public, and is hroaglit here by his Father, at the urgent Teem*•
utenfiation of the first characters there, from whom he bears :esters of introduction
to various eminent and scientific men in this country.
As this Child is presented principally to the notice of the discerning portion of
, community, it is hoped the Price of Adiuisvion will not bethought extravagant--
1171.0te especially as the object in view Is to give a developentent to such extraor-
"ll7 faculties by the aid of a liberal education : one thing may be folly retliei
sfin, that tbls ropresentation is in no degree exaggerated, as all who leave
ken this Prodigy have found his faculties even more wonderful than was ex-
Podefi.
N.B. Price of Admission 3s. and open every day from Twelve to Font o'clock
tsanday excepted.)
