Synopsis

Excerpt from New University Arithmetic<br/><br/>The author has great pleasure in acknowledging the interest which Teachers have manifested in the success of his labors they have suggested many improvements, both in rules and methods, not only in his elementary, but also in his advanced works. The school room is the tribunal, and the intelligent and practical teacher the judge, before whom all text-books must stand or fall. The terms, Cause and Effect, used in developing the sub jcet Of Proportion, were supposed by the author, at the time Of their introduction into his works, to be common literary property. But he has since been informed, that Prof. H. N. Robinson, the distinguished author of a full course of Mathematics, claims to have been the first who made a practical application of these terms, in a tangible form, to Proportion, as published in his Arithmetic of 1854. I have great pleasure, therefore, in assign ing to their proper author, the invention Of so ingenious and practical a method, and of acknowledging the courtesy of being permitted to continue its use in my books, with, however. As I deem, important differences in the definitions and development of the rule.
