It is necessary that every man should have some regular, uniform method of keeping his accounts.. What this method shall be, the law does not prescribe; but, in cases of dispute, it requires that the book, or that on which the charges were originally made, be produced in open court, when he will be required to answer to the following questions: Is this your book, and the method in which you keep your accounts? Did you make the charges, now in dispute, at the time they purport to have been made? Are they just and true? Have received pay for them, or any part? if so, how much? you An answer in the affirmative, under oath, to the above questions, (the last only excepted,) is all that For farmers and mechanics, the following method will be found both convenient and easy.

Arithmetic, in which the principles of operating by numbers are analytically explained and synthetically applied; thus combining the advantages to be derived both from the inductive and synthetic mode of instructing: the whole made familiar by a great variety of useful and interesting examples, calculated at once to engage the pupil in the study, and to give him a full knowledge of figures in their application to all the practical purposes of life. Designed for the use of Schools and Academies in the United States. By DANIEL ADAMS, M. D. Author of the Scholar's Arithmetic, School Geography, &e. RECOMMENDATIONS, Mr MALTBY, [Bookseller, New Haven]-In reply to your request for my opinion of Dr Adams' "New Arithmetick," I can say, the examination of it has afforded me much satisfaction. The analytic & synthetic methods of teaching are very happily combin'd. The explanations are very clear and full, and the "supplement" annexed to each rule will answer the purposes of a review, and serve to fix in the memory the principles. It will, I think, be found particularly applicable to the wants of private students, as well as schools. Very respectfully, yours, &c. LANCASTERIAN SCHOOL, New Haven, Jan. 17, 1829. } 1 We have introduced "Adams' New Arithmetic" to our GYMNASIUM, AS WE BELIEVE IT IT SUPERIOR TO ANY OTHER WITH WHICH WE ARE ACQUAINTED. NEW HAVEN GYMNASIUM, S. E. & H. E. DWIGHT, "We hail the A writer in the Farmer's Museum says, appearance of this work with unmingled satisfaction." The work is really an Arithmetick, analytically explained and synthetically applied-"-" We hope the attention of all will be turned to a book. so much needed, and one promising so much advantage to the rising generation. From the Author of the Literary and Scientific Class Book. Dublin, N. H. Dec. 6, 1827. Dear Sir, I have examined, with great satis faction, Dr. Adams' New Arithmetic. His analytical explanations are brief and clear. His arrangement of the subjects is well suited to the purposes of instruction and the useful practical examples with which the work abounds, must confer upon it a high value. It is, moreover, a cheap book, very cheap, when we consider the quantity of matter it contains, and compare its price with that of other recent publications. Those young persons who wish, not merely to go through their Arithmeticks, but to understand them, and to be able to make a ready application of arithmetical principles in business of life, will do well to obtain and study Dr. Acams' new Book. Yours with respect, LEVI W. LEONARD. From Mr. Carlton, Preceptor of Haverhill, Mass. Academy, formerly Tutor at Dartmouth College, to the author. "Haverhill Academy, Jan, 12, 1828. "Dear Sir, The pupils under my care, have made use of your New Arithmetic long enough to give it a fair trial; and although I was led from previous examination of it, to expect a rapid proficien a practical Arithmetic. I am happy to state that the result has more than answered my expectations. It is decidedly an improvement in matter and form, and is far preferable to the generality of works of a similar kind. Instructors of academies and common schools have been so long attached to the old synthetic method of instruction, that, unhappily, many are still strongly opposed to the introduction of the valuable works of Colburn; and I am glad you have so far humored popular predjudices, as to combine the inductive and synthetic modes of instructions.The ingenious division table is an improvement, and will be found to be a necessary preparation for the study of fractions. Respectfully yours, The following notice has been politely furnished by Professor Olmsted of Yale College, New-Haven. Mr. A. H. MALTBY, Dear Sir-Being requested to express my opinion of " Adams' New Arithmetic," I have the pleasure to say that I consider it among the best of our elementary treatises; and can cheerfully recommend it to the teachers of our preparatory and village schools. Respectfully, Yours, DENISON OLMSTED. Yale College, March 6, 1829. The School Commissioners of Vermont, appointed by the Legislature, of whom the Hon. William Hall, of Rockingham, is chairman, have selected and recommended Adams' New Arithmetic, to be used in all the schools in that state.eu" AT THE LITERARY AND SCIENTIFIC Embracing LASS BOOK, Embracing the leading facts and principles of science, illustrated by engravings, with many difficult words ex |
