PREFACE.

THE increasing demand for graded schools seems to require a gradation of works on Arithmetic. With a view to meet this demand, this book has been carefully prepared. The examples are new, and special pains have been taken to make the processes in the reasoning, as well as the examples themselves, succeed each other by uniform gradations.

A short treatise on Mensuration has been introduced toward the close of the work, which, the author trusts, will meet the practical wants of a large class of students.
