Abstract
IT is very difficult for an author to produce anything strikingly new in such a well-worn subject as arithmetic, and consequently this treatise greatly resembles two or three others of the most meritorious character. A good feature of the work is the attention which it devotes to the theory of arithmetic. Labour-saving processes, when long multiplications have to be performed and one of the factors possesses some particular simplicity of form, are frequently given—to the interest as well as to the advantage of the pupil.
Arithmetic.
