In the Enquirer Of the 18th inst observed
an extract from London paper, describing a
method of asccrtaining the QuadrGiure orthe
Circle, the merit of discovering which is given
TO Mr.. A. G.. Lutham OF Hereford.
have no doubt that. so far as Mr.. Lu;ham
is concerned, it is a new discovery but can
assure you, that precisely the same method of
ascertaining the relation between circle and
square, was suggested in the year 500, by a
youth at the college of Princeton, New Jer-
sey. That youth was John Il Cooke, from
Alexandria, in the District of Columbia. and
who, believe, is now physician residing in
some of the counties bordering on the south
side of the Potomac, above Alexandria.
MIR. Cooke explained his method to Doct.
John M'Lean the then professor of mathema-
ties In the college, whopronounced it to be the
most ingenious one he had ever read of. Its
imperfection consisted in its not being "A me
thod entirely mathematical; and also imper-
feet, although only very infinitely SO, from the
circumstance of a portion of the water ne
cessarily adhering to the surfaces of the globe,
cylinder and cube used IL the experiment.
MIR. Cooke possessed an extraordinary ge-
MUS for mathematics, aud was known in the
college by no other name than that of " Sir
Isaac Newton"
One OF his classmates who has never had
the happiness of meeting with him since the
class graduated, takes pleasure in correcting
An error, and in awarding to Mr.. Cooke thai
merit 10 which he is entitled.
