The article outlines a classroom method where letters A to Z are printed in sand on low desks, with a monitor guiding a first class of beginners. Students trace letters, copy forms, and practice printing while sand is cleared by a hot iron, enabling rapid, repeated practice. It includes a separate Arts and Agriculture note offering a potato lime remedy to combat tree worm—prepare solution, apply with a mop to trunks to improve sap and fruitfulness.

Curious underwater ascent device promises utility
An infant recovered from the harbor describes a machine enabling descent to the bottom of water while remaining dry above the hands. The device uses a wooden box, tight leather pantaloons, and tallow sheathing with glasses for light, allowing long submerged stays and controlled ascent by a cord and bell system. The report cites Bona parte's fodder method for cavalry and notes an ox exhibited in London weighing 4,290 158.
