Abstract
IN addition to questions in Practical Geometry, the Science and Art Department has given notice that in the future questions in Graphic Arithmetic and Statics will be included. The issue of this small book is intended to supply students with information on these two subjects, sufficient for both the elementary and advanced stages. In forty-eight pages the author has brought together all the important problems, working them out clearly for beginners with the help of diagrams. In addition to those of the more elementary kind, a graphical determination of the square roots of numbers, the resolution of forces, resultant of parallel forces, &c., are also dealt with. Nothing that the reader will find in this book will be found superfluous, though it could with advantage be slightly extended.
