A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

The dJB tiingniB biT ig feature of this A rithmetic, that which has chiefly led to its pnblicatioD, is its containing, in addition to the examples imder each role, a large number of Promiscuous Baoamples tmder several different rxdes. No two of these together being alike, pnpils need to think how each one is to be done independently of another, instead of only doing all like one already done in the book, or by their teacher. They can often do page after page of examples as commonly arranged nnder their respective roles, though they eould not do much simpler examples as they are apt to occur in practical business. Hence men often say, that their knowledge of A rithmetic, when they commenced business, consisted in little more than knowing how to add, subtract, multiply and divide, when directed to do so in an arithmetic, or by their teacher. This defect, it is believed, will be remedied by the repeated use of the promiscuous eocamples in this book. They are so classified and arranged that each Exercise requires the application of what has been previously studied in some portion of the book. The author having found such exercises almost indispensable in teaching arithmetic, has thought it would be a great convenience to teachers, to have an arithmetic containing a large number of promiscuous examples. Many experienced teachers, also, all with whom he has Consulted, have confirmed him in this opinion. Hence, though there is perhaps too great a variety of arithmetics abeady in use, this is offered to the public. It is believed, too, that this arithmetic contains in one book, all the most important matter usually found in an arithmetical series, in which much the same matter is repeated in different books, thus greatly increasing the expense, without any real advantage.
