Abstract
OUR readers may ask, who is the author of “The Two Discoveries,” and what are the Discoveries? An advertisement informs us that Mr. Clement Pine himself is the former, and that the subjects of “The Two Discoveries” are “The Mathematical Discovery, the Spiritual Telegraph, Astronomy, Cause of the Changes of the Seasons, Botany, Capillary Attraction, or the Principle of Growth; Religion, Progression, Scenery in the Spirit Realm, &c., and a variety of other topics.” A suggestive list! We shall extract a morceau here and there which will indicate the nature of the present pamphlet. There are “important discoveries in a science in which very slight advances have been made since its foundation was laid by Euclid.” We commend this to the “Improvement of Geometrical Teaching Association.” To his scholastic ignorance and to his loss of sight, Mr. Pine attributes the fact of his attention having been turned to these subjects and of his having hit upon shorter, simpler, and more effectual modes of obtaining certain results.
