I have examined the work entitled the Columbian Calculator, by Mr. Ticknor, and deem it well adapted as a work on practical Arithmetic for use in common schools. The numerous examples employed to illustrate principles, will render it, in the hands of competent instructors, peculiarly valuable, to both the student and the man of business. D. P. YEOMANS.
