Abstract
THE examples contained in this book are of the most elementary nature, and are intended for the use of those who have got no further than quadratic equations. In this series the exercises only deal with arithmetic and algebra, and are arranged in sets of papers which gradually become more difficult. The examples in arithmetic commence by dealing with the first four rules, simple and compound, and fractions; while those in algebra consist mostly of numerical values, addition and subtraction. Cube root and compound interest in arithmetic, and quadratic equations in algebra, form the highest limit to which these subjects are carried in this series. Throughout the work the author seems to have paid great care to insure accuracy in the answers; and though we have worked out many problems, picked out at random, we failed to find any errors.
