Equational Arithmetic, Applied to Questions of Interest, Annuities, Life Assurance, and General Commerce: With Various Tables By Which All Calculations May Be Greatly Facilitated
From the PREFACE. Although many Treatises on Arithmetic are already before the public, they are, for the most part, open to this objection, that they seek rather to invent labor for the student, by multiplying rules and examples, than to economise it by the most concise methods. The present work, which is not intended exclusively for a school book, nor yet to supersede the more useful of the elementary works already published, will, it is confidently believed, afford advantages to the accountant, merchant, and private student, which are not to be found in any other. It is said, "that railways have been used in this country for more than two centuries: " the recent and rapid extension of the system is a proof that the practical application and improvement of well-known arts is often of more value than an absolutely new invention. In like manner, the simplest form of fractional arithmetic, that of decimals, though so ancient, and to the present day so universal a branch of school-boy lore, has so unaccountably fallen into disuse as to be all but forgotten in after years.
