This textbook's goal is to train and develop the mind by means of the science of numbers. Numbers are the instruments here employed to strengthen the memory, to cultivate the faculty of abstraction, and to sharpen and develop the reasoning powers.

This textbook is designed to teach the principles of Arithmetical Science as far as they are involved in the elementary processes, and to secure a reasonable degree of accuracy and rapidity in expressing numbers and computing results. This work presents at first the idea of numbers connected with visual representations of objects; afterward, when…
