A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

It has been the design of the author, in the following pages, to compile a work adapted, by its practical character, to the wants of those of the rising generation, wtio, not being able to command a collegiate education, are fitting themselves to fill useful stations in society as mechanics, merchants, c. With tliis end in view, it was deemed inexpedient to devote any portion of the book to theoretical demonstrations of the principles involved in the rules given, when those demonstrations are based upon principles illustrated by more advanced branches of mathematical science, with which the pupil is supposed to be unacquainted. By pursuing this course, room was afforded for the introduction of more numerous examples illustrating the respective rules, than could otherwise have been given without the enlargement of the work beyond expedient limits. The introduction of these examples, it is believed, wU lenhance the value of the work in the estimation of teachers generally, inasmuch as the operation of the rules is more likely to be permanently impressed on the mind of the pupil, by long continued practice, than by the solution of one or two problems only.
