Excerpt from A Practical Arithmetic for Elementary Schools

In the arrangement of the treatise the author has kept in view the requirements of the privy-council for Elementary Schools and Pupil Teachers, although he has not limited himself by them.

The Miscellaneous Exercises at the end have been taken chie¿y from the papers of the privy-council and Dick Bequest Examinations.

For the convenience of junior classes the early chapters, treating of the elementary operations with simple numbers and with money, and forming pp. 1-64 of the present work, are published separately under the title of First Steps in Arithmetic.
