Excerpt from Practical Arithmetic, or a Complete Exercise-Book: For the Use of Schools
Books upon the subject of arithmetic have been, of late, very numerous; but whether the subject has been wholly exhausted or not, I leave to be considered. To me it appeared, that there was room for improvement both in matter and form and whether I have affected it, in any degree, must also remain to be considered. The improvement to which I advert, and would be understood chiefly to mean, is in arithmetic as it relates to schools, in which should be comprised all the rules upon that science, expressed in a concise, comprehensive, and methodical manner, with the first example under each, wrought out at large according to the rule, and the rest 'in question and answer. This is the plan which I have prosecuted in the following work.
The method, perhaps, may not suit some, though it appeared to me to be the best; however, the rules may be transcribed in any other arrangement at pleasure.
The work is large, comprehended in a small compass, and almost entirely new.
Being conscious that the following compendium will stand or fall according to its merit or demerit, I therefore, without any recommendation, submit it to the examina tion of an impartial public.
