Présentation de l'éditeur
Neither a desire of peeuniary gain nora wish to appear as an aulhor,prompted the presentation of this work to the public. Having felt the necessity of a more extended and systematic Intellectual Arithmetic for the younger, as well as more advanced pupils, I prepared and used in manuscript, in my own school, for a number of years, such a series of questions as I deemed best adapted to the purpose. After observing the superior mental training derived from their use, and the ease with which pupils thus trained comprehended the more advanced branch mathematics, I venture to submit them to the public in the following pages, hoping that they may prove as useful to other schools as they have to my own. The rule which I have observed in its preparation is to tell but one thing at a time, and that in its proper place. It would be laborious to point out all the particulars in which this work differs from others of a similar character; I shall, therefore, give only a brief exposition of its general plan, leaving the other dillerences (which, doubtless, will be considered of importance) to be found by those who study -the book.
