Abstract

PART II. of Messrs. Pendlebury and Robinson's “New School Arithmetic” has followed quickly on the publication of part i., and this excellent textbook is now complete. The second part is concerned mainly with the application of arithmetic to the transactions of commerce, dealing with such subjects as interest, discount, commission, stocks and shares, profit and loss, &c. Ratio and proportion find a place, and they are illustrated largely by this class of problem. The authors devote a little space to the training of youths in computations suitable to experimental work in the laboratory. Thus we find that algebraical symbols are freely introduced, and chapters are given on averages, approximations, graphs, elementary mensuration, and logarithms. This portion of the book might well have been extended even at the expense, if necessary, of some of the chapters relating to purely business matters. But the subjects treated are very numerous, affording considerable ground for selection, and many teachers will no doubt, and with advantage, omit some of the technical commercial chapters. At every stage examples are introduced in great abundance, the answers to which extend to nearly fifty pages. The book concludes with a collection of test papers, and a large number of miscellaneous problems. Parts i. and ii. are published separately, and also in one volume. The examples and answers may also be obtained without the other text. Altogether the book is one that deserves, and will no doubt obtain, an extended circulation.
