Excerpt from An on Arithmetic, in Theory and Practice: For the Use of Schools
IN the present edition a vast number Of exercises have been added, that no rule, however trifling, might be left without so many illustrations as should serve to make it sufficiently familiar to the pupil. And when it was feared that the application of any rule to a particular class Of cases might not at once suggest itself, some question calculated to remove, or diminish the difficulty has been introduced among the examples.
A considerable space is devoted to the nature of num bers, and the principles of notation and numeration for the teacher may rest assured, that the facility, and even the success, with which subsequent parts of his instruction will be conveyed to the mind of the learner, depends, in a great degree, upon an adequate acquaintance with them. Hence, to proceed without securing a perfect and practical knowledge of this part of the subject, is to retard, rather than to accelerate improvement.
