A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Arithmetic contains the first elements of reasoning upon quantity ;its principles take their rise in ideas so simple as to he adapted to the most untutored mind, and to the lowest capacity. It is at the same time so indispensahle for every human heing, not only in common life, but in the pursuits of the highest sciences, that it forms the most proper, and has always formed one of the principal branches of the earlier education of youth. By its very nature it furnishes the means of developing the reasoning faculties, from the time of their first beginning to expand themselves, and of habituating them to correctness and precision. It therefore gives the human mind the power and disposition to reason upon sound and correct principles. It is therefore the duty of the faithful teacher of youth, (not the mere teacher for his own private emolument,) to take advantage of this property of arithmetic, and apply it to cultivate the mind, and enligiiten the understanding of his scholars, by a proper reasoning in this elementary science; he should not make it the object of the memory alone a method that leaves no impression upon the mind whose results are therefore lost again as soon as the school is dismissed. To neglect to take this advantage of the study of arithmetic, is either a proof of ignorance, or an actual dereliction of duty.

Présentation de l'éditeur

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
