Présentation de l'éditeur

QhOZ PREFACE. The preceding editions of this work were published in 1830, 1832, 1835, and 1840. This fifth edition differs from the three preceding, as to the body of the work, in nothing which need prevent the four, or any two of them, from being used together in a class. But it is considerably augmented by the addition of eleven new A ppendixes, relating to matters on which it is most desirable that the advanced student should possess information. The first A ppendix, on Computation, and the sixth, on Decimal Money, should be read and practised by every student with as much attention as any part of the work. The mastery of the rules for instantaneous conversion of the usual fractions of a pound sterling into decimal fractions, gives the possessor the greater part of the advantage which he would derive from the introduction of a decimal coinage. At the time when this work was first published, the importance of estabH shing arithmetic in the young mind upon reason and demonstration, was not admitted by many. The case is now altered: schools exist in which rationalS ome separate copies of these Appendixes are printed, for those who may desire to add them to the fonner editions. 4:1.
