These same investigators have also performed notable feats in
constructing associated and bordered prime magics, and Mr. Shuldham has
sent me a remarkable paper in which he gives examples of Nasik squares
constructed with primes for all orders from the 4th to the 10th, with
the exception of the 3rd (which is clearly impossible) and the 9th,
which, up to the time of writing, has baffled all attempts.

This is the form in which I first introduced the question of magic
