PREFACE.

IN the present work, which is the result of more than ten years' experience in teaching, little has been borrowed from other treatises except those ordinary rules which must in all Arithmetics be given in nearly the same words. It is, as the author believes, original in the treatment of the subject, in the methods of arriving at general rules, and in several points not elsewhere noticed.

The brief explanation of Logarithms is intended for the benefit of those who have to use them for practical purposes, and who have not sufficient acquaintance with Algebra to enable them to understand the theorems upon which their construction is based.

The whole of the Examples being original, and many of them new in principle, form an important addition to the stock now available for teaching.

London, 1864.
