country, than a generally DILUTED knowledge
OF the mathematics, s; of tho.t licences which
depend upon chem Jet no part in the eouca-
ton OF the American youth has been more neg
letted and lefs cutivated.-This however is to
be attributed to the habits of the teachers en-
ployed, and to the mode of education to which
they have been accufomed, and not 10 the ge-
MUS and inclination of the peopie.-The fy.tem
of American education hitherto mott prevalent,
has been founded upon that praetiitd in the fe-
minaries of North Britain, from whence the
majority of the teachers in the United States
have been drawn, and from that clafs originally
defined for the church, whole knowledge in the
dead languages, however confefedly great, with
refpe9 to mathematical fcienc-, is in general
extremely limited.-In Scotland, mathematical
learning is entirely excluded from the grammar
fchools, and even in the universities, iincc the
time of McLaurin of Edinburgh, s, Simpton of
Glafgow, the mathematical courfe has been iu-
perficial.-The ftudy of mathematics is con-
Quoted upon more extenGve plan in the femi-
naries of England, particularly at Cambridge
and Woowich, than in Scotland but in no
country except France, have the mathematics
been purified with that perseverance, which
their utility merits.--To France for the lift ff-
ty years, all the real mathematical knowledge
of Europe has been confined: during this peri
cd not Jingle mathematical production, lev
cepting the laborious compilations of DIR. Hut
ton of Woolwich) has appeared in any other
country that merits perufal and It is a circum-
ftance fomewhat extraordinary, that notwith-
Handing the boafted military and naval ftrength
of Great-Britain, all the improvements and
knowledge in the military and naval arts fhould
have been received from the French fchools.-
Whole libraries may be formed from the feve-
raj eusnent French mathematical authors, who
have treated thefe fubjetts, when in the Englfh
language only the mifrable works of Muller can
be found.
In order therefore to introduce proper tafte
for mathematical learning in the United States,
fuch courie ought to be purified as the expe-
rience of France has faneti2ned.-In the public
feminaries OF this nation, youth generally begin
to be infruded in the elements of geometry at
the age of ten.-- This fcience with that of Alse-
bra and Fluxions occupy their attention for
three years; and an equal period is generally
afterwards devoted to the requirement of mix
ed mathematics, and of thofe licences which de-
pend on the previous knowledge of geometry.
Thus young man at the age of fixteen has ac-
qured fuch knowledge of the mathematical
fcience as enables him to purfne with fuccefs
thofe ftudies that require the judgment of more
mature age.
II is far from my intention to recommend an
equally exteniive plan of mathematical learning,
to thofe Young men who have not had the pro-
per opportunities of receiving an education un-
Ill advanced in life.-For them the courie ihould
be abridged and ought to conform in great
degree to their future views.
