Excerpt from Practical Arithmetic: Embracing the Science and Applications of Numbers
Great pains have been taken to make the work practical In its general character, by explaining and illustrating the various applications of Arithmetic in the transactions of business, and by connecting, as closely as possible, every principle or rule, with all the applications which belong to it.

Their generous appreciation of my labors has been both an encourage ment and a reward. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
