CALLS DECIMAL ARITHMETIC, ON A NEW AND IMPROVED PLAN THROUGHOUT

Comprising Several New Methods of Computing Simple Interest, Duodecimals, and a Great Improvement in Multiplication and DivisionThroughout other parts of the work, the subscriber has made his own selections and arrangement, and readily assumes whatever responsibility rests upon an author. He has not confined himself to the old method in any article in the work. We have de pended mostly upon our own resources for rules and illustrations throughout the book, yet we have not hesitated to insert questions found in other books, whenever we thought proper.The following authors have been consulted in our preparation, from each of whom we have derived greater or less aid. Pike, Lacroix, Stevens, Mont gomery, Greenleaf, Adams, Little, Walsh, Euler, Allen, Day, American Encyclopedia, and Edinburgh Encyclopedia. We have aimed to make our book a useful school-book, how far we have succeeded, we shall leave to the public to judge. The Editor feels it due to himself to state, that, residing at so great a distance from the press, and thus being unable to review his proof sheets, many more errors may be found in the work, than would otherwise have escaped notice.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
