These books differ from the ordinary Ciphering Books, which are Exercise or Manuscript Books merely, in that they have the sums neatly engraved on the very page and in that particular part of the same in which they are required for use. The method pursued may be thus briefly described: A sum in any particular rule is first worked throughout as a model, then one is partly done for the pupil to complete, in the next place sums are set in finely dotted figures ready for writing over and working, and lastly spaces are indicated where the pupil may arrange and work the sums to be derived from the questions printed on the top of the page. The principle upon which the whole course is constructed is that of showing by example how the work should be done, and then leading the pupil step by step to do similar work for himself. From the very careful way in which the books are graduated, and the numerous examples and questions given, regular and sure progress must be made by all who use them. The younger scholars may be interested and kept steadily advancing, and older pupils made skilful in arranging and working ordinary calculations. As an adjunct to the present methods of teaching arithmetic, they can be most usefully employed both at home and at school in confirming and completing what has been taught at the black board, or gathered from the text-book on the subject, while the advantages to be derived from them in the way of method, neatness, and orderly arrangement are by no means to be disregarded. ** Books III.
