TO THE THIRD OCTAVO EDITION, FROM WHICH THIS ABRIDGMENT IS MADE.

THE demand for this work fill continuing, notwiths Aanding the publication of other works on Arithmetick and the higher branches of the Matheme:leks, is evidence of its intrinfick merit, and has induced the Proprietors of the copy-right to prefent the publick with a new and im proved Edition.

Application was made to the Author, requesting him to revife and improve the work for a new Edition ; but he declined on account of want of health, and the Gentle man, whom we employed, was engaged by the Author's confent, and improved and corrected the work agreeably to his direction and advice.

The most important improvement in this Edition, is the introduction of examples in the Federal Currency under each rule; and while this was confidered neceffary, in or der to extend the knowledge and ufe of that currency, it was thought important not to omit examples in pounds, fhillings and pence, which are, and will continue to be, the bafis of many arithmetical questions; and therefore an acquaintance with them will always be useful.

The

Mr. NATHANIEL LORD. 3d, of Ipfwich, the Gentle. man employed to correct and improve the work, has beftowed much attention upon it, and has received from Mr. PIKE all the information and advice he defired. manner in which Mr. LORD has executed the task entrusted to him, will, we hope, gain additional reputation for the work, and entitle him to the thanks of the publick.

THOMAS & ANDREWS.
