The whole displays considerable ingenuity, and in connection with 

 the date, may be of use as indicating the former state of arithmetical 

 knowledge. 



8th April, 1842. 



I add 



a copy of the inscription in our common numerals, in case it 

 may be wanted, as also a sample of 

 the way in which it may be extend- 

 ed, which probably is similar to that 

 in Dr. Franklin's Magical Square of 

 Squares, but on this point I cannot 

 speak positively, as I do not distinct-

 even a complete knowledge, of the Physical Sciences, shall be taught to 

 those who are willing among the Native community. 



For this purpose, as apparatus for the lecture tables, and for the 

 exhibition of the principles of machines and the various experiments in 

 Chemistry, Hydrodymacis, Pneumatics, and the effects of Light, a set of 

 instruments will be required, which as adapted for any institution called
