CHARLES A. INGERSOLL,. Clerk of the District of Connecticut. A true copy of Record Examined and scaled by me: CHARLES A. INGERSOLL, Clerk of the District of Connecticut: RECOMMENDATIONS. YALE-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 explained 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. [Now Surveyor General of the United States.] I HAVE given some attention to the work above mentioned, and concur with Mr. Professor Meigs in his opinion of its merit. NOAH WEBSTER. 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 favourable 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" Arithmetic." 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 [Now President of that Institution.] |
