MILITARY ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS GEOMETRY.
The Military Academy at West Point, though
not originally intended as a seminary oil learn
ing. excep, for what is necessary Tor military
purposes, has lately been regarded as one IN
which thorough and complete education, In
all the most difficult and profound Sciences, is
actually obtained Though such bold flights
into the region Of abstract science, may be sup
posed an alteration from the original object OF
thisnational Institution,every sensible and patrl-
otto citizen must rejoice, to have, in any form,
or under any pretext, the means OF raising the
youth Of our country above that meciocrity,or
even contempt, with which we have been treated
sysry thing 1sHs; az to
which in short time has been thus successful,
purely by native, not imported instructors, may
we not prospectively see arise an American
Barrow, Newton, Euler, or La Place? All these
may nationally be expected in time, from the
mere tyros Of the institution. But, what con.
duces more Immediately 10 this end, and which
has been overlooked, in the eulogies upon the
Academy, is the establishment oflivings, or PHI,
ces for Professors, by which men of true genius
and ardor in the pursuit of science, NAV be sup.
ported by those very faculties, with which ma.
ture has endowed them, and which they are most
assiduous to cultivate. Instructive curiose,
duty, and interest, are thus combined, and d.
rected 10 one common focus. Newton, Maclau.
rim, Simpson, Euler, and almost all the great
men Of science Of Europe were Professors of
the sciences in some university, or similar lie.
situations, and their powers Of genius were priu.
cipaly elected by the leisure which their lungs
afforded, and by the duties enJoined by their
stations. The Military Academy has already
shown what may be expected from the establish
ment Of talented and well chosen Professors -
All have done something for the advancement
Of science, beyond what their mere official du-
ties require; and lately, one Of the youngest,
though not the least efficient Of them, has pub
lished work on subject rarely known or IN
derstood among the English population, VIZ:
what is denomlnated Descriptive Geometry in
France, and other countries of Europe. 1t is
highly esteemed there, and considered as inra
liable in civil and military engineering, archl
lecture, and other arts, which require graph
cal descriptions. As a branch OF the mathema
les, it is not inferior to any other in the exten.
sion and improvement OF the intellectual pow
ers; and in its practical uses, il may be super.
or to some.
As far as we have been able to examine this
work Of Prof. Davies, we find in it, in an emf
neLt degree, the essentials of scientific work,
viz.-perspicuity, accuracy, and an elegant and
systematic arrangement Of all its parts. If the
novelty and importance of the sue ect, neat
and elegant exposition of it by language and
drawings, be any claim for patronage, and ap'
plause, Mr.. Davies will be sure 10 obtain il from
an enlightened people.
