Excerpt from University Arithmetic: Embracing the Science of Numbers, and General Rules for Their Application

Science, in its popular signification, means knowledge reduced to order; that is, knowledge so classified and arranged as to be easily remembered, readily referred to, and advantageously applied. More strictly, it is a knowledge of laws, relations, and principles.

Arithmetic is the science of numbers, and the art of applying numbers to all practical purposes. It is the foundation of the exact and mixed sciences, and an accurate knowledge of it is an important element either of a liberal or practical education.

It is the first subject, in a well-arranged course of instruction, to which the reasoning faculties of the mind are applied, and is the guide-book of the mechanic and man of business. It is the first fountain at which the young votary of knowledge drinks the pure waters of intellectual truth.

It has seemed, to the author, of the first importance that this subject should be carefully treated in our Elementary Textbooks. In the hope of contributing something to so desirable an end, he has prepared a series of arithmetical works, embracing four books, entitled, Primary Arithmetic; Intellectual Arithmetic; Practical Arithmetic; and University Arithmetic - the latter of which is the present volume.

Primary Arithmetic. This first-book is adapted to the capacities and wants of young children. Sensible objects are employed to illustrate and make familiar the simple combinations and relations of numbers. Each lesson embraces one combination of numbers, or one set of combinations.
