Excerpt from Soulé's Intermediate, Philosophic Arithmetic, Embracing Oral and Written Problems: Involving the Great Principles of the Science of Numbers, and Their Application to the Practical Computation

Hygiene; from the Statistics of the Municipal, State and National Governments; and from many other departments of scientific knowledge. Through this means, the work is rendered far more interesting, and as it brings into use organs of the mind different from those which consider the computation of numbers only, it thereby imbues the mind of the learner with much valuable information without the cost Of additional study or the expenditure Of additional time.

The entire work sparkles with the rarest gems of the science of numbers, and teaches thata new truth is better than an old error, and that facts and reasons are better than fallacious theories, however ancient or renowned.

To obviate a formal introduction to the work, the subject matter usually classed under that head has been presented in remarks and discussions throughout the work, in connection with the various topics treated.

By reason of this arrangement, the remarks and discussions have been made more pertinent, and will be read at the time when the student most needs them.
