PREFACE.

ROBINSON'S Higher Arithmetic has proved its value and utility by a thirty-five years' test, and its plan and features are so well known that it seems unnecessary to call attention to them. The present edition has been thoroughly revised and reset. Nothing of value or merit in the old edition has been discarded, but it has been the aim of the revision to completely modernize the book and to make it as fully up to date as any of the most recent books published.

While almost every chapter has been entirely rewritten, and much new and valuable matter has been added, the general plan of the book has not been disturbed.

The work in its present form is intended to complete a well graded and progressive series of Arithmetics, and to furnish to advanced students a full and comprehensive text-book on the science of numbers a work that shall embrace those subjects necessary to give the pupil a thoroughly practical and scientific arithmetical education.

As the book is addressed to advanced pupils, the author has throughout assumed that the student has an elementary knowledge of the fundamental principles of arithmetic. With this as a basis it has been possible to treat the subjects in a much more logical and scientific way than would be practicable in an elementary work.
