Un quadrillion ha quindici cipher.Questo è stato prima di lui aveva sei anni." Dr. Preyer pensato che il bambino era sbagliata in ilnumero di crittografie e ha scritto: Se il bambino esclama atthis età che un quadrillion ha quindici le cifrature, thiswrong dichiarazione non dovrebbe essere menzionato. ...

. A study of a child. e. Theseterms seemed to take his fancy, and he often askedabout their order; and one day he came to me andexclaimed: I could count to quadrillions if I had timeenough, couldnt I ? A quadrillion has fifteen ciphers.This was before he was six years old.„ Dr. Preyer thought the child was mistaken in thenumber of ciphers, and wrote: If the child exclaims atthis age that A quadrillion has fifteen ciphers, thiswrong statement should not be mentioned. ... If hehad worked it out by threes, then he would have foundtwenty-four ciphers ; a million having six, a thousandmillions nine, a billion twelve, a thousand billions fifteen, a trillion eighteen, a thousand trillions twenty - one, aquadrillion twenty-four. It would have been ratherremarkable if he had found this by himself. Dr. Harris explains, however, that the child was right, for Dr. Preyer counted by the Continental method, andthe child referred to in the record had his questionsanswered according to American counting.

He took up printed letters in the same easy way thathe worked out numbers, and thus learned the alphabet, as may be seen from the various illustrations relating tothis phase, learning to read and spell, eventually, by theaid of memory and by comparison of the words he knewfrom memory with the printed words before him. (Seeillustrations facing p. 166.) His illustrated books of pigs, cats, and dogs, etc., furnished him with sufficient materialfor this sort of work, and his interest was kept up by theillustrations, and sufficient admixture of out-door play tocreate a desire for in-door amusement. His efforts at figure-drawing (free-hand) in his fifthyear show steady improvement, as may be seen fromillustrations facing p. 168. His continued interes
