What little knowledge the generality of men have
of Geometry is into them with
Greek & Latin it appears to them of still
less use Men even the possession of these
languages. The Idea of pointing out
of studies seemingly apparently remote from use
is a in theory is by no means new
but little attempts have been made hitherto
to surmount the difficulty that to put them
in practice. The Age at which they are
set to learn these this things is an age
at which few if any can have made
observations enough such observations
as one could lay hold of to show the
use of them by. Let me consider the different motives
children have to learn language & Geometry.
If there be any they might be cherished
such objects might purposely be expand to this
observation [instead of trusting to shame] if accident
can not be treated for furnishing th those
Ideas, it might be the object of Educators to
such objects to their attention or
should furnish them.
