414 A Century of Science 



Doctor Morgan, Sir. Permit me to address you 



Brute Creation may perhaps enjoy the faculty of 

 beholding visible things with a more penitrating 

 eye than ourselves. But Spiritual objects are as 

 far out of their reach as though they had no being 

 Nearest therefore to the brute Creation are those 

 men who Suppose themselves to be so far governed 

 by external objects as to believe nothing but what 

 they See and feel And Can accomedate to their 

 Shallow understanding and Imaginations 



. . . When a Gentleman of your Standing in 

 Society . . . Can not understand or Solve a pro 

 blem That is explicitly explained by words and 

 Letters and mathematacally operated by figuers 

 He had best consult the wise proverd 



Do that which thou Canst understand and Com 

 prehend for thy good. 



I would recommend that Such Gentleman 

 Change his business 



And appropriate his time and attention to a 

 Sunday School to Learn what he Could and keep 

 the Litle Children form durting their Close 



With Sincere feelings of Gratitude for your 

 weakness and Inability I am 



Sir your Superior in Mathematics. 



X. Y.
