New-Salem, Sept. 14th, 1801. HAVING attentively examined "The Scholar's Arithmetic," I cheerfully give it as my opinion, that it is well calculated for the instruction of youth; and that it will abridge much of the time now necessary to be spent in the communication and attainment of such Arithmetical knowledge, as is proper for the discharge of business. WARREN PIERCE. Preceptor of New-Salem Academy.

Sir,

Groton Academy, Sept. 2, 1801.

I HAVE perused with attention "The Scholar's Arithmetic," which you transmitted to me some time since. It is, in my opinion, better calculated to lead students in our Schools and Academies into a complete knowledge of all that is useful in that branch of literature, than any other work of the kind I have seen. With great sincerity I wish you success in your exertions for the promotion of useful learning; and I am co fident, that to be generally approved, your work needs on to be generally known. WILLIAM M. RICHARDSO Preceptor of the Acade a
