Abstract
In Chapter 3 of his book Magic Squares and Cubes W. S. Andrews states in concise form what is known about the particular magic square invented by Benjamin Franklin. Included in this chapter is “An Analysis of the Franklin Square” by Paul Carus. Each of these authors gives a most penetrating treatment of the subject, and an ingenious method of construction is described. Of this method, however, Carus admits: “We do not know the method employed by Franklin; we possess only the result, but it is not probable that he derived his square according to the scheme employed here” (p. 112).
