Excerpt from The Decimal System of Numbers: Illustrated and Practically Applied, by a Series of Systematic and Progressive Exercises

Tms work has been prepared to follow the First Steps in Numbers by D. P. Colburn and G. A. Walton, and is designed to give the student in it so complete a mastery over the elemen tary operations on numbers, as shall enable him to add, subtract, multiply, or divide, any numbers whatever, with ease, accuracy and rapidity. It is also designed to give him such thorough mental training as shall enable him to solve any arithmetical problem that may arise in practical life, and fit him to pursue advantageously the higher departments of arithmetic, or the other mathematical studies.

It was originally commenced in connection with Mr. Geo. A. Walton, my associate iii a former work, but, by a subsequent arrangement, I assumed the authorship and entire direction of it, retaining however the privilege of using the materials that had been contributed by him. Many of the practical examples were furnished by Mr. Walton, to whom I am also indebted for many suggestions, and for assistance in revising and preparing the manuscript for the press.
