Abstract:
This "essay" by Joshua Lederberg, written at age 7 while attending P. S. 46 in New York City, gives an early indication of his interest in the sciences. The essay, with some misspellings, reads: "I would like to be a scientistist of mathemmatics like Einstein. I would study science and discover a few theories in science." The "Solomon" shown in Lederberg's name at the top is actually a youthful affectation and not part of his proper name.
