Excerpt from Lessons in Arithmetic for Junior Classes: With Tables of Money, Weights, and Measures, According to the Imperial Standards
Number is either a unit, or consists of a collection of units; being the name given to our conception Of things considered as one or many.
Abstract numbers. When we consider numbers in their general nature, without referring them to any particular subject, they are then called abstract; as, 3, 7, 10, &c.
Concrete or applicate numbers. When we consider number not in its general nature, but as applied to certain particular things, as, two pounds, three pence, &c., it is termed concrete or applicate.
