Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Tutor's Assistant: Being a Compendium of Arithmetic and a Complete Question-Book To enter into a long detail of every rule would tire the reader, and swell the preface to an unusual length; I shall, therefore, only give a general idea of the method of proceeding, and leave the rest to speak for itself, which, I hope, the reader will hnd to answer the title, and the recommendation given it. As to the rules, they follow in the same manner as the table of contents Specifies, and in much the same order as they are generally taught in schools. Ihave gone through the four fundamental rules in integers first, before those of several denominations, in order that, they being well understood, the latter Will be per formed with much more ease and despatch, according to the rules shown, than by the customary method of dotting. In multipli cation I have shown both the beauty and use of that excellent rule in resolving most questions that occur in merchandising; and have prefixed to reduction several bills of parcels, which are ap plicable to real business. In working interest by decimals I have added tables to the rules, for the more ready calculating of annu ities, &c., and have not only shown the use, but the method of making them likewise a table calculated for finding the interest of any sum of money at any rate cent. By multiplication and addition only; and I may venture to say, I have gone through the whole with so much plainness and perspicuity, that there is none better extant.
