Number, as applied to objects, is one of the first properties
perceived by the child; he/she intuitively distinguishes between
one and more than one, and easily learns to add and subtract small
numbers before he/she learns to read.
Addition and Subtraction, which are the converse of each other,
are given in immediate connection; so also are Multiplication and
Division. Each combination is thus presented in a variety of forms
and may be fully committed to memory without wearying the
learner.
Every lesson is accompanied by exercises and illustrations. In
the exercises all the elementary combinations are arranged
progressively, and repeated many times; if the pupil becomes
accurate and quick in these, he/she will acquire the basic
operations of math.
Many teachers, of great ability and experience in the department
of primary instruction, have kindly lent their aid to render the
information in this book attractive, thorough, and practical.
Originally published in 1867, it has been republished because
the methods in this book are timeless and it will give a child the
ability to use a "text book" from our history, therefore engaging
him/her in living history.
