Y. PREFACE. THE New Practical Arithmetic of this series was pre pared to set forth clearly and concisely, the principles of the science of Arithmetic, and to illustrate them by plain and practical examples, thus explaining the properties and relations of numbers, and their applications to the business transactions of daily life. That book was designed for grammar schools, and in it the principles of arithmetic are stated in such order and to such an extent, that pupils having a limited time for school study, may acquire a knowledge of them and their applications with economy of time. It differs from the author's former Practical Arithmetic in being more analytic in its presentation of subjects. It presents, previous to a Rule, the solution of a problem in figures, and with the "Operation" a full and concise analysis of the principles involved, by which the pupil is prepared to understand the exact meaning of the Rule, and thus solve intelligently and with pleasure, the varied examples which follow it. This book is intended to be a complete text-book for the study of arithmetic throughout the ordinary course of instruction in high schools and academies. It consists of the pages of the New Practical Arithmetic and 113 additional pages. The supplementary matter after page 303 of this volume is presented in the order of the subjects before |
