The investigations of the principles on which the rules of arithme tic depend, always precede and are made more prominent than the statement of those rules. 2. The logical relations of the several parts of arithmetic are clearly marked by their arrangement. For example, reduction is not treated as a separate rule, but so much as belongs to multiplication is placed under that head, while the rest takes its proper place as one of the practical applications of division. Interest, discount, and the kindred rules, are grouped together as illustrati ns of the doctrine I proportion. The theory of decimals is placed much earlier in the course than usual. The rules for compound numbers are explained in connection with the corresponding rules for simple numbers. the principle u on which these rules depend being identical. 3. A large number of examples are given for the illustration of each rule, and great care has been taken to select those of a practical or business character. 4. The answers to the examples are not given in the arithmetics. Keys to the higher books are furnished gratis to teachers using the arithmetics, but are not sold to booksellers. 5. They are original books, the result of much careful thought, study, and experience as a teacher. Colburn's Arithmetics are regarded by all teachers who are acquainted with their merits as at least among the best treatises in this department. They are everywhere liked best by the best teachers, and wherever introduced, the longer they are used, the better they are liked. Although so recently published, (the series was not completed until 1860,) with very little effort on the part of the publishers to bring them into use, they have already worked their own way into the public schools of such places as St. Louis, Mo.; San Francisco, Cal.; Syracuse, N. Y.; New Haven, Hartford and Norwich, Conn.; Salem, Fitchburg, Somerville, etc., Mass.; and in many of the smaller cities and towns in the vicinity of these places. Teachers and School Officers intending to make changes in this department, and who wish to get the BEST TEXT-BOOKS, are requested to examine these and compare them with cotemporary works. Copies for examination will be 10rwarded by mail, on receipt of one-t e-third of the annexed prices, for prepayment of postage, or they will be furnished FREE OF EXPENSE on personal application to the publishers, or to [tf] DEXTER S.
