ignorances or misconceptions 1 continued
any number of
how ample of other points
that the force of the demonstration
can be impaired.

By an inapposite or ambiguous2
expression or two,
placed at the threshold of the
science, who can say what multitudes
may not have been deterred
from the attempt to enter upon
it.

For shortness the
phrase the square root is used
instead of the root of the square:
as house top instead of the top
of the house.This is, it seems
a favorite notion of
Mr. B, it is entirely
a mistake, But in what elementary
book onof mathematics
is any such explanation to be none I hope
found. In consequence a root
of a square form is the idea
that presents itself to the learner;
a top root,for example, such asPage? Tapez?
that of a radish shaved down
till it is cut into this shape: and
so in the case of a cube-root.
And any such root what can
it have to do with numbers.
Here then is darkness visible:
and to many an eye impenetrable.
