Having to conduct my grandson through
his course of mathematics, I have resumed that
study with great avidity. It was ever my favorite
one. We have no theories there, no
uncertainties remain on the mind; all is demonstration
and satisfaction. I have forgotten
much, and recover it with more difficulty than
when in the vigor of my mind I originally acquired
it.—
