 Introduction

Introduction
Welcome to Stage 2 of Cambridge Primary Mathematics. We hope this
book will show you how interesting and exciting mathematics can be.
Mathematics is everywhere. Everyone uses mathematics every day.
Where have you noticed mathematics?
Have you ever wondered about any of these questions?
• Counting lots of things one by one is slow and it’s easy to make a
mistake. Is there a better way?
• What makes a number odd or even?
• What are centimetres, metres, grams, kilograms, millilitres and litres?
• What is it that repeats in a repeating pattern?
• How do you use a calendar?
• How can I explain to someone how to get to my house?
• How do you solve a mathematics problem?
You will work like a mathematician to find the answers to some of these
questions. It is good to talk about the mathematics as you explore, sharing
ideas. You will reflect on what you did and how you did it, and think about
whether you would do the same next time.
You will be able to practise new skills and check how
you are doing and also challenge yourself to find
out more. You will be able to make connections
between what seem to be different areas of
mathematics.
We hope you enjoy thinking and working like
a mathematician.

Compare with a partner how you each worked out

the missing numbers in question 6.
What did you do the same?
What did you do differently?

Look what I can do!

   
• I can say, read and write numbers from 0 to 100.   
• I can say and represent the value of each digit in a   
2-digit number.
• I can count on and back in steps of 1 and 10 from any   
number, using the 100 square for support.

1.2 Counting up to 100 objects

We are going to …
• represent 2-digit numbers in tens and ones
• estimate how many objects there are then count to check
• count on and back in ones, twos and tens.

Now that you know the order of the numbers

to 100, you can use them to estimate how many accurate, accurately
objects there are and count them. collection order
Counting in tens helps you to count larger
collections quickly and accurately.

Project 1
Possibly odd
Sofia and Marcus are playing a game.
They have two sets of 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
0–9 digit cards.
They spread one set
face-up so they can
see all the digits.
They muddle up the cards in the second set
and put them in a pile face down.
Marcus turns over the top card of the pile. It is a 4.
Marcus has to choose a face-up card to put with the 4.
This will make a two-digit number.

Which card should he choose to make the smallest possible

odd number? Why?

Try this for yourself with a partner.

• Set out two sets of 0–9 digit cards in the same way that
Sofia and Marcus did.

 2 Geometry

This unit will use what you know about 2D and 3D shapes
to explore faces, surfaces, edges and vertices.
You will be introduced to three new 2D shapes: a pentagon,
which has 5 sides; a hexagon, which has 6 sides and
an octagon, which has 8 sides.
Shapes can be cut into equal pieces. Each piece is a fraction
of the whole shape.

• sort and name 3D shapes.

You will see 3D shapes all around you but do

you know what they are? This section will curved surface edge
help you to recognise 3D shapes in different face vertex, vertices
places. You will also learn more about spheres,
cubes, cuboids, pyramids and cylinders.
A vertex is a corner. ‘Vertices’ is the plural of
‘vertex’ and means more than one corner.

PART FIRST.

Document No. 1.

Paragraph from the “Illustrated London News,” published under the

head of “Obituary of Eminent Persons,” in the issue of January
4th, 1879:
SIR WILLIAM BEAUVOIR, BART.
Sir William Beauvoir, Bart., whose lamented death has just
occurred at Brighton, on December 28th, was the head and
representative of the junior branch of the very ancient and
honourable family of Beauvoir, and was the only son of the late
General Sir William Beauvoir, Bart., by his wife Anne, daughter of
Colonel Doyle, of Chelsworth Cottage, Suffolk. He was born in 1805,
and was educated at Eton and Trinity Hall, Cambridge. He was M. P.
for Lancashire from 1837 to 1847, and was appointed a Gentleman
of the Privy Chamber in 1843. Sir William married, in 1826, Henrietta
Georgiana, fourth daughter of the Right Honourable Adolphus
Liddell, Q. C., by whom he had two sons, William Beauvoir and
Oliver Liddell Beauvoir. The latter was with his lamented parent
when he died. Of the former nothing has been heard for nearly thirty
years, about which time he left England suddenly for America. It is
supposed that he went to California, shortly after the discovery of
gold. Much forgotten gossip will now in all probability be revived, for
the will of the lamented baronet has been proved, on the 2d inst.,
and the personalty sworn under £70,000. The two sons are
appointed executors. The estate in Lancashire is left to the elder,
and the rest is divided between the brothers. The doubt as to the
career of Sir William’s eldest son must now of course be cleared up.
This family of Beauvoirs is of Norman descent, and of great
antiquity. This is the younger branch, founded in the last century by
Sir William Beauvoir, Bart., who was Chief Justice of the Canadas,
whence he was granted the punning arms and motto now borne by
his descendants—a beaver sable rampant on a field gules; motto,
“Damno.”

Extract from the “Sunday Satirist”, a journal of high-life, published in

London, May 13th, 1848:
Are not our hereditary lawmakers and the members of our old
families the guardians of the honour of this realm? One would not
think so to see the reckless gait at which some of them go down the
road to ruin. The D——e of D——m and the E——l of B——n and L
——d Y——g,—are not these pretty guardians of a nation’s name?
Quis custodiet? etc. Guardians, forsooth, parce qu’ils se sont donnés
la peine de naître! Some of the gentry make the running as well as
their betters. Young W——m B——r, son of old Sir W——m B——r,
late M.P. for L——e, is a truly model young man. He comes of a good
old county family—his mother was a daughter of the Right
Honourable A——s L——l, and he himself is old enough to know
better. But we hear of his escapades night after night, and day after
day. He bets all day and he plays all night, and poor tired nature has
to make the best of it. And his poor worn purse gets the worst of it.
He has duns by the score. His I.O.U.’s are held by every Jew in the
city. He is not content with a little gentlemanlike game of whist or
écarté, but he must needs revive for his special use and behoof the
dangerous and well-nigh forgotten pharaoh. As luck would have it,
he had lost as much at this game of brute chance as ever he would
at any game of skill. His judgment of horseflesh is no better than his
luck at cards. He came a cropper over the “Two Thousand Guineas.”
The victory of the favourite cost him to the tune of over six thousand
pounds. We learn that he hopes to recoup himself on the Derby, by
backing Shylock for nearly nine thousand pounds; one bet was
twelve hundred guineas.
And this is the sort of man who may be chosen at any time by
force of family interest to make laws for the toiling millions of Great
Britain!

Paragraph of Shipping Intelligence from the “Liverpool Courier” of

June 21st, 1848:
The bark Euterpe, Captain Riding, belonging to the Transatlantic
Clipper Line of Messrs. Judkins & Cooke, left the Mersey yesterday
afternoon, bound for New York. She took out the usual complement
of steerage passengers. The first officer’s cabin is occupied by
Professor Titus Peebles, M.R.C.S., M.R.G.S., lately instructor in
metallurgy at the University of Edinburgh, and Mr. William Beauvoir.
Professor Peebles, we are informed, has an important scientific
mission in the States, and will not return for six months.

Document No. 8.

Paragraph from the “N. Y. Herald” of September 9th, 1848.

While we well know that the record of vice and dissipation can
never be pleasing to the refined tastes of the cultivated denizens of
the only morally pure metropolis on the face of the earth, yet it may
be of interest to those who enjoy the fascinating study of human
folly and frailty to “point a moral or adorn a tale” from the events
transpiring in our very midst. Such as these will view with alarm the
sad example afforded the youth of our city by the dissolute career of
a young lump of aristocratic affectation and patrician profligacy,
recently arrived in this city. This young gentleman’s (save the mark!)
name is Lord William F. Beauvoir, the latest scion of a venerable and
wealthy English family. We print the full name of this beautiful
exemplar of “haughty Albion,” although he first appeared among our
citizens under the alias of Beaver, by which name he is now
generally known, although recorded on the books of the Astor House
by the name which our enterprise first gives to the public. Lord
Beauvoir’s career since his arrival here has been one of unexampled
extravagance and mad immorality. His days and nights have been
passed in the gilded palaces of the fickle goddess, Fortune, in
Thomas Street and College Place, where he has squandered
fabulous sums, by some stated to amount to over £78,000 sterling.
It is satisfactory to know that retribution has at last overtaken him.
His enormous income has been exhausted to the ultimate farthing,
and at latest accounts he had quit the city, leaving behind him, it is
shrewdly suspected, a large hotel bill, though no such admission can
be extorted from his last landlord, who is evidently a sycophantic
adulator of British “aristocracy.”

Letter from the late John Phœnix, found among the posthumous
papers of the late John P. Squibob, and promptly published in
 the “San Diego Herald.”
Off the Coast of Florida, Jan. 3, 1849.
My Dear Squib:—I imagine your pathetic inquiry as to my
whereabouts—pathetic, not to say hypothetic—for I am now where I
cannot hear the dulcet strains of your voice. I am on board ship. I
am half seas over. I am bound for California by way of the Isthmus. I
am going for the gold, my boy, the gold. In the mean time I am
lying around loose on the deck of this magnificent vessel, the Mercy
G. Tarbox, of Nantucket, bred by Noah’s Ark out of Pilot-boat, dam
by Mudscow out of Raging Canawl. The Mercy G. Tarbox is one of
the best boats of Nantucket, and Captain Clearstarch is one of the
best captains all along shore—although, friend Squibob, I feel sure
that you are about to observe that a captain with a name like that
would give anyone the blues. But don’t do it, Squib! Spare me this
once.
But as a matter of fact this ultramarine joke of yours is about east.
It was blue on the Mercy G.—mighty blue, too. And it needed the
inspiring hope of the gold I was soon to pick up in nuggets to stiffen
my backbone to a respectable degree of rigidity. I was about ready
to wilt. But I discovered two Englishmen on board, and now I get
along all right. We have formed a little temperance society—just we
three, you know—to see if we cannot, by a course of sampling and
severe study, discover which of the captain’s liquors is most
dangerous, so that we can take the pledge not to touch it. One of
them is a chemist or a metallurgist, or something scientific. The
other is a gentleman.
The chemist or metallurgist or something scientific is Professor
Titus Peebles, who is going out to prospect for gold. He feels sure
that his professional training will give him the inside track in the
gulches and gold mines. He is a smart chap. He invented the
celebrated “William Riley Baking Powder”—bound to rise up every
time.
 And here I must tell you a little circumstance. As I was coming
down to the dock in New York, to go aboard the Mercy G., a small
boy was walloping a boy still smaller; so I made peace, and walloped
them both. And then they both began heaving rocks at me—one of
which I caught dexterously in the dexter hand. Yesterday, as I was
pacing the deck with the professor, I put my hand in my pocket and
found this stone. So I asked the professor what it was.
He looked at it and said it was gneiss.
“Is it?” said I. “Well, if a small but energetic youth had taken you
on the back of the head with it, you would not think it so nice!”
And then, O Squib, he set out to explain that he meant “gneiss,”
not “nice!” The ignorance of these English about a joke is really
wonderful. It is easy to see that they have never been brought up
on them. But perhaps there was some excuse for the professor that
day, for he was the president pro tem. of our projected temperance
society, and as such he had been making a quantitative and
qualitative analysis of another kind of quartz.
So much for the chemist or metallurgist or something scientific.
The gentleman and I get on better. His name is Beaver, which he
persists in spelling Beauvoir. Ridiculous, isn’t it? How easy it is to see
that the English have never had the advantage of a good common-
school education—so few of them can spell. Here’s a man don’t
know how to spell his own name. And this shows how the race over
there on the little island is degenerating. It was not so in other days.
Shakspere, for instance, not only knew how to spell his own name,
but—and this is another proof of his superiority to his
contemporaries—he could spell it in half a dozen different ways.
This Beaver is a clever fellow, and we get on first rate together. He
is going to California for gold—like the rest of us. But I think he has
had his share—and spent it. At any rate he has not much now. I
have been teaching him poker, and I am afraid he won’t have any
soon. I have an idea he has been going pretty fast—and mostly
down hill. But he has his good points. He is a gentleman all through,
as you can see. Yes, friend Squibob, even you could see right
through him. We are all going to California together, and I wonder
which one of the three will turn up trumps first—Beaver, or the
chemist, metallurgist or something scientific, or
Yours respectfully, John Phœnix.
P. S.—You think this a stupid letter, perhaps, and not interesting.
Just reflect on my surroundings. Besides, the interest will
accumulate a good while before you get the missive. And I don’t
know how you ever are to get it, for there is no post-office near
here, and on the Isthmus the mails are as uncertain as the females
are everywhere. (I am informed that there is no postage on old
jokes—so I let that stand.)

Extract from the Dead Horse “Gazette and Courier of Civilization” of

August 26th, 1850:
BONEGULCH’S BRITISHER.
Bonegulch sits in sackcloth and ashes and cools her mammoth
cheek in the breezes of Colorado canyon. The self-styled Emporium
of the West has lost her British darling, Beaver Bill, the big swell who
was first cousin to the Marquis of Buckingham and own grandmother
to the Emperor of China, the man with the biled shirt and low-
necked shoes. This curled darling of the Bonegulch aristocrat-
worshippers passed through Deadhorse yesterday, clean bust. Those
who remember how the four-fingered editor of the Bonegulch
“Palladium” pricked up his ears and lifted up his falsetto crow when
this lovely specimen of the British snob first honored him by striking
him for a $ will appreciate the point of the joke.
It is said that the “Palladium” is going to come out, when it makes
its next semi-occasional appearance, in full mourning, with turned
rules. For this festive occasion we offer Brother B. the use of our late
retired Spanish font, which we have discarded for the new and
elegant dress in which we appear to-day, and to which we have
elsewhere called the attention of our readers. It will be a change for
the “Palladium’s” eleven unhappy readers, who are getting very tired
of the old type cast for the Concha Mission in 1811, which tries to
make up for its lack of w’s by a plentiful superfluity of greaser u’s.
How are you, Brother Biles?
“We don’t know a gent when we see him.” Oh no (?)!

Paragraph from “Police Court Notes,” in the New Centreville [late

Dead Horse] “Evening Gazette,” January 2d, 1858:
HYMENEAL HIGH JINKS.
William Beaver, better known ten years ago as “Beaver Bill,” is now
a quiet and prosperous agriculturalist in the Steal Valley. He was,
however, a pioneer in the 1849 movement, and a vivid memory of
this fact at times moves him to quit his bucolic labors and come in
town for a real old-fashioned tare. He arrived in New Centreville
during Christmas week; and got married suddenly, but not
unexpectedly, yesterday morning. His friends took it upon
themselves to celebrate the joyful occasion, rare in the experience of
at least one of the parties, by getting very high on Irish Ike’s
whiskey and serenading the newly-married couple with fish-horns,
horse-fiddles, and other improvised musical instruments. Six of the
participators in this epithalamial serenade, namely, José Tanco,
Hiram Scuttles, John P. Jones, Hermann Bumgardner, Jean Durant
(“Frenchy”), and Bernard McGinnis (“Big Barney”), were taken in tow
by the police force, assisted by citizens, and locked up over night, to
cool their generous enthusiasm in the gloomy dungeons of Justice
Skinner’s calaboose. This morning all were discharged with a
reprimand, except Big Barney and José Tanco, who, being still drunk,
were allotted ten days in default of $10. The bridal pair left this noon
for the bridegroom’s ranch.

THE RED SKINS.

A BORDER WAR AT LAST!

INDIAN INSURRECTION.
RED DEVILS RISING!
Women and Children seeking safety in the larger Towns.
HORRIBLE HOLOCAUSTS ANTICIPATED.
Burying the Hatchet—in the White Man’s Head.
[SPECIAL DESPATCH TO THE NEW YORK HERALD.]
Chicago, June 22, 1861.
Great uneasiness exists all along the Indian frontier. Nearly all the
regular troops have been withdrawn from the West for service in the
South. With the return of the warm weather it seems certain that
the red skins will take advantage of the opportunity thus offered,
and inaugurate a bitter and vindictive fight against the whites.
Rumors come from the agencies that the Indians are leaving in
numbers. A feverish excitement among them has been easily to be
detected. Their ponies are now in good condition, and forage can
soon be had in abundance on the prairie, if it is not already.
Everything points toward a sudden and startling outbreak of
hostilities.
[SPECIAL DESPATCH TO THE NEW YORK HERALD.]
St. Paul, June 22, 1861.
The Sioux near here are all in a ferment. Experienced Indian
fighters say the signs of a speedy going on the war-path are not to
be mistaken. No one can tell how soon the whole frontier may be in
a bloody blaze. The women and children are rapidly coming in from
all exposed settlements. Nothing overt as yet has transpired, but
that the Indians will collide very soon with the settlers is certain. All
the troops have been withdrawn. In our defenceless state there is no
knowing how many lives may be lost before the regiments of
volunteers now organizing can take the field.

LATER.
THE WAR BEGUN.

FIRST BLOOD FOR THE INDIANS.

The Scalping Knife and the Tomahawk at work again.

[SPECIAL DESPATCH TO THE NEW YORK HERALD.]

Black Wing Agency, June 22, 1861.
The Indians made a sudden and unexpected attack on the town of
Coyote Hill, forty miles from here, last night, and did much damage
before the surprised settlers rallied and drove them off. The red
skins met with heavy losses. Among the whites killed are a man

Their child, a beautiful little girl of two, was carried off by the red
rascals. A party has been made up to pursue them. Owing to their
taking their wounded with them, the trail is very distinct.

San Francisco, January 29, 1863.

My dear old Man!—Here we are in our second week at Frisco and
you will be glad to know playing to steadily increasing biz, having
signed for two weeks more, certain. I didn’t like to mention it when I
wrote you last, but things were very queer after we left Denver, and
“Treasury” was a mockery till we got to Bluefoot Springs, which is a
mining town, where we showed in the hotel dining-room. Then there
was a strike just before the curtain went up. The house was mostly
miners in red shirts and very exacting. The sinews were forthcoming
very quick my dear, and after that the ghost walked quite regular. So
now everything is bright, and you won’t have to worry if Chicago
doesn’t do the right thing by you.
I don’t find this engagement half as disagreeable as I expected.
Of course it ain’t so very nice travelling in a combination with variety
talent but they keep to themselves and we regular professionals
make a happy family that Barnum would not be ashamed of and
quite separate and comfortable. We don’t associate with any of them
only with The Unique Mulligans wife, because he beats her. So when
he is on a regular she sleeps with me.
And talking of liquor dear old man, if you knew how glad and
proud I was to see you writing so straight and steady and beautiful
in your three last letters. O, I’m sure my darling if the boys thought
of the little wife out on the road they wouldn’t plague you so with
the Enemy. Tell Harry Atkinson this from me, he has a good kind
heart but he is the worst of your friends. Every night when I am
dressing I think of you at Chicago, and pray you may never again go
on the way you did that terrible night at Rochester. Tell me dear, did
you look handsome in Horatio? You ought to have had Laertes
instead of that duffing Merivale.
And now I have the queerest thing to tell you. Jardine is going in
for Indians and has secured six very ugly ones. I mean real Indians,
not professional. They are hostile Comanshies or something who
have just laid down their arms. They had an insurrection in the first
year of the War, when the troops went East, and they killed all the
settlers and ranches and destroyed the canyons somewhere out in
Nevada, and when they were brought here they had a wee little kid
with them only four or five years old, but so sweet. They stole her
and killed her parents and brought her up for their own in the
cunningest little moccasins. She could not speak a word of English
except her own name which is Nina. She has blue eyes and all her
second teeth. The ladies here made a great fuss about her and sent
her flowers and worsted afgans, but they did not do anything else
for her and left her to us.
O dear old man you must let me have her! You never refused me
a thing yet and she is so like our Avonia Marie that my heart almost
breaks when she puts her arms around my neck—she calls me
mamma already. I want to have her with us when we get the little
farm—and it must be near, that little farm of ours—we have waited
for it so long—and something tells me my own old faker will make
his hit soon and be great. You can’t tell how I have loved it and
hoped for it and how real every foot of that farm is to me. And
though I can never see my own darling’s face among the roses it will
make me so happy to see this poor dead mother’s pet get red and
rosy in the country air. And till the farm comes we shall always have
enough for her, without your ever having to black up again as you
did for me the winter I was sick my own poor boy!
Write me yes—you will be glad when you see her. And now love
and regards to Mrs. Barry and all friends. Tell the Worst of Managers
that he knows where to find his leading juvenile for next season.
Think how funny it would be for us to play together next year—we
haven’t done it since ’57—the third year we were married. That was
my first season higher than walking—and now I’m quite an old
woman—most thirty dear!
Write me soon a letter like that last one—and send a kiss to Nina
—our Nina.
Your own girl,
Mary.
P. S. He has not worried me since.

Nina drew this herself she says it is a horse so that you can get
here soon.

Letter from Messrs. Throstlethwaite, Throstlethwaite, and Dick,

Solicitors, Lincoln’s Inn, London, England, to Messrs. Hitchcock
and Van Rensselaer, Attorneys and Counsellors at Law, 76
Broadway, New York, U. S. A.
January 8, 1879.
Messrs. Hitchcock & Van Rensselaer:
Gentlemen: On the death of our late client, Sir William Beauvoir,
Bart., and after the reading of the deceased gentleman’s will, drawn
up nearly forty years ago by our Mr. Dick, we were requested by
Oliver Beauvoir, Esq., the second son of the late Sir William, to assist
him in discovering and communicating with his elder brother, the
present Sir William Beauvoir, of whose domicile we have little or no
information.
After a consultation between Mr. Oliver Beauvoir and our Mr. Dick,
it was seen that the sole knowledge in our possession amounted
substantially to this: Thirty years ago the elder son of the late
baronet, after indulging in dissipation in every possible form, much
to the sorrow of his respected parent, who frequently expressed as
much to our Mr. Dick, disappeared, leaving behind him bills and
debts of all descriptions, which we, under instructions from Sir
William, examined, audited, and paid. Sir William Beauvoir would
allow no search to be made for his erring son and would listen to no
mention of his name. Current gossip declared that he had gone to
New York, where he probably arrived about midsummer, 1848. Mr.
Oliver Beauvoir thinks that he crossed to the States in company with
a distinguished scientific gentleman, Professor Titus Peebles. Within
a year after his departure news came that he had gone to California
with Professor Peebles; this was about the time gold was discovered
in the States. That the present Sir William Beauvoir did about this
time actually arrive on the Pacific Coast in company with the
distinguished scientific man above mentioned, we have every reason
to believe: we have even direct evidence on the subject. A former
junior clerk, who had left us at about the same period as the
disappearance of the elder son of our late client, accosted our Mr.
Dick when the latter was in Paris last summer, and informed him
(our Mr. Dick) that he (the former junior clerk) was now a resident of
Nevada and a member of Congress for that county, and in the
course of conversation he mentioned that he had seen Professor
Peebles and the son of our late client in San Francisco, nearly thirty
years ago. Other information we have none. It ought not to be
difficult to discover Professor Peebles, whose scientific attainments
have doubtless ere this been duly recognized by the U. S.
government. As our late client leaves the valuable family estate in
Lancashire to his elder son and divides the remainder equally
between his two sons, you will readily see why we invoke your
assistance in discovering the present domicile of the late baronet’s
elder son, or, in default thereof, in placing in our hand such proof of
his death as may be necessary to establish that lamentable fact in
our probate court.
We have the honour to remain, as ever, your most humble and
obedient servants,
Throstlethwaite, Throstlethwaite, & Dick.
P. S.—Our late client’s grandson, Mr. William Beauvoir, the only
child of Oliver Beauvoir, Esq., is now in the States, in Chicago or
Nebraska or somewhere in the West. We shall be pleased if you can
keep him informed as to the progress of your investigations. Our Mr.
Dick has requested Mr. Oliver Beauvoir to give his son your address,
and to suggest his calling on you as he passes through New York on
his way home.

Messrs. Pixley and Sutton:
Gentlemen: We have just received from our London correspondents,
Messrs. Throstlethwaite, Throstlethwaite, and Dick, of Lincoln’s Inn,
London, the letter, a copy of which is herewith enclosed, to which we
invite your attention. We request that you will do all in your power to
aid us in the search for the missing Englishman. From the letter of
Messrs. Throstlethwaite, Throstlethwaite, and Dick, it seems
extremely probable, not to say certain, that Mr. Beauvoir arrived in
your city about 1849, in company with a distinguished English
scientist, Professor Titus Peebles, whose professional attainments
were such that he is probably well known, if not in California, at
least in some other of the mining States. The first thing to be done,
therefore, it seems to us, is to ascertain the whereabouts of the
professor, and to interview him at once. It may be that he has no
knowledge of the present domicile of Mr. William Beauvoir, in which
case we shall rely on you to take such steps as, in your judgment,
will best conduce to a satisfactory solution of the mystery. In any
event, please look up Professor Peebles, and interview him at once.
Pray keep us fully informed by telegraph of your movements.
Yr obt serv’ts,
Hitchcock & Van Rensselaer.

Letter from Tite W. Peebles, delegate to the California Constitutional
Convention, Sacramento, to Messrs. Pixley and Sutton, 98
California Street, San Francisco, California.
Sacramento, Feb. 2, ’79.
Messrs. Pixley & Sutton: San Francisco.
Gentlemen: Your favor of the 31st ult., forwarded me from San
Francisco, has been duly rec’d, and contents thereof noted.
My time is at present so fully occupied by my duties as a delegate
to the Constitutional Convention that I can only jot down a brief
report of my recollections on this head. When I return to S. F., I shall
be happy to give you any further information that may be in my
possession.
The person concerning whom you inquire was my fellow
passenger on my first voyage to this State on board the Mercy G.
Tarbox, in the latter part of the year. He was then known as Mr.
William Beauvoir. I was acquainted with his history, of which the
details escape me at this writing. He was a countryman of mine; a
member of an important county family—Devonian, I believe—and
had left England on account of large gambling debts, of which he
confided to me the exact figure. I believe they totted up something
like £14,500.
I had at no time a very intimate acquaintance with Mr. Beauvoir;
during our sojourn on the Tarbox he was the chosen associate of a
depraved and vicious character named Phœnix. I am not averse
from saying that I was then a member of a profession rather
different to my present one, being, in fact, professor of metallurgy,
and I saw much less, at that period, of Mr. B. than I probably should
now.
Directly we landed at S. F., the object of your inquiries set out for
the gold region, without adequate preparation, like so many others
did at that time, and, I heard, fared very ill.
 I encountered him some six months later; I have forgotten
precisely in what locality, though I have a faint impression that his
then habitat was some cañon or ravine deriving its name from
certain osseous deposits. Here he had engaged in the business of
gold-mining, without, perhaps, sufficient grounds for any confident
hope of ultimate success. I have his I. O. U. for the amount of my
fee for assaying several specimens from his claim, said specimens
being all iron pyrites.
This is all I am able to call to mind at present in the matter of Mr.
Beauvoir. I trust his subsequent career was of a nature better
calculated to be satisfactory to himself; but his mineralogical
knowledge was but superficial; and his character was sadly
deformed by a fatal taste for low associates.
I remain, gentlemen, your very humble and obd’t servant,
Titus W. Peebles.
P. S.—Private.
My dear Pix: If you don’t feel inclined to pony up that little sum you
are out on the bay gelding, drop down to my place when I get back
and I’ll give you another chance for your life at the pasteboards.
Constitution going through.
Yours,
Tite.

PART FOURTH.
Document No. 24.

Extract from the New Centreville [late Dead Horse] “Gazette and
Courier of Civilization,” December 20th, 1878:
 “Miss Nina Saville appeared last night at the
Mendocino Grand Opera House, in her unrivalled
specialty of Winona, the Child of the Prairies;
supported by Tompkins and Frobisher’s Grand Stellar
Constellation. Although Miss Saville has long been
known as one of the most promising of California’s
younger tragediennes, we feel safe in saying that the
impression she produced upon the large and cultured
audience gathered to greet her last night stamped her
as one of the greatest and most phenomenal geniuses
of our own or other times. Her marvellous beauty of
form and feature, added to her wonderful artistic
power, and her perfect mastery of the difficult science
of clog-dancing, won her an immediate place in the
hearts of our citizens, and confirmed the belief that
California need no longer look to Europe or Chicago for
dramatic talent of the highest order. The sylph-like
beauty, the harmonious and ever-varying grace, the
vivacity and the power of the young artist who made
her maiden effort among us last night, prove
conclusively that the virgin soil of California teems with
yet undiscovered fires of genius. The drama of
Winona, the Child of the Prairies, is a pure, refined,
and thoroughly absorbing entertainment, and has been
pronounced by the entire press of the country equal to
if not superior to the fascinating Lady of Lyons. It
introduces all the favorites of the company in new and
original characters, and with its original music, which is
a prominent feature, has already received over 200
representations in the principal cities in the country. It
abounds in effective situations, striking tableaux, and a
most quaint and original concert entitled ‘The Mule
Fling,’ which alone is worth the price of admission. As
this is the first presentation in this city, the theatre will
no doubt be crowded, and seats should be secured
early in the day. The drama will be preceded by that
 prince of humorists, Mr. Billy Barker, in his humorous
sketches and pictures from life.”

We quote the above from our esteemed contemporary, the

Mendocino Gazette, at the request of Mr. Zeke Kilburn, Miss Saville’s
advance agent, who has still further appealed to us, not only on the
ground of our common humanity, but as the only appreciative and
thoroughly informed critics on the Pacific Slope to “endorse” this
rather vivid expression of opinion. Nothing will give us greater
pleasure. Allowing for the habitual enthusiasm of our northern
neighbor, and for the well-known chaste aridity of Mendocino in
respect of female beauty, we have no doubt that Miss Nina Saville is
all that the fancy, peculiarly opulent and active even for an advance
agent, of Mr. Kilburn has painted her, and is quite such a vision of
youth, beauty, and artistic phenomenality as will make the stars of
Paris and Illinois pale their ineffectual fires.
Miss Saville will appear in her “unrivalled specialty” at Hank’s New
Centreville Opera House, to-morrow night, as may be gathered, in a
general way, from an advertisement in another column.
We should not omit to mention that Mr. Zeke Kilburn, Miss Saville’s
advance agent, is a gentleman of imposing presence, elegant
manners, and complete knowledge of his business. This information
may be relied upon as at least authentic, having been derived from
Mr. Kilburn himself, to which we can add, as our own contribution,
the statement that Mr. Kilburn is a gentleman of marked liberality in
his ideas of spirituous refreshments, and of equal originality in his
conception of the uses, objects and personal susceptibilities of the
journalistic profession.
