Abstract
THIS short treatise is not only concerned with the metric system, but also contains “certain arithmetical principles, problems and formulæ, and an appendix on the common chemical reactions.” The arithmetical contents may be useful as a supplement to ordinary books on arithmetic, but the statement of chemical reactions is “cram,” pure and simple.
