VALE-COLLEGE, NOV, 27, 1799, I HAVE read DABOLL'S SCHOOLMASTER'S ASSISTANT, The arrangement of the different branches of Arithmetic is judicious and perspicuous. The author has well ex. plained Decimal Arithmetic, and has applied it in a plain and elegant manner in the solution of various questions, and especially to those relative to the Federal Computation of money. I think it will be a very useful book to Schoolmasters and their pupils. JOSIAH MEIGS, Professor of Mathematics and Natural Philosophy. [Since Surveyor-General of the United States.] I HAVE giver some attention to the work above men- New-Haven, December 12, 1799. RHODE-ISLAND COLLEGE, NOV. 30, 1799. I HAVE run through Mr. DABOLL'S SCHOOLMASTER'S ASSISTANT, and have formed of it a very favorable opinion. According to its original design, I think it well "calculated to furnish Schools in general with a methodical, easy and comprehensive System of Practical Arith metic." I therefore hope it may find a generous patronage, and have an extensive spread. ASA MESSER, Professor of the Learned Languages, and Teacher of Mathematics. [President of that Institution.] |
