Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from An Arithmetic for Colleges and Schools
My experience has taught me that it is between the ages of twelve and fifteen according to the degree of precocity of each individual, that the study of reasoned arithmetic should begin. Before that period, a child can only master the four plain rules, which he ought to learn as soon as practicable; they being for him then a mere mechanical process. But it is only by long habit that he can perform with readiness these four fundamental operations; and there fore he should begin early. But, beyond this training of the numerical faculties of the mind, I would not torment a child with the abstruseness of arithmetic before the above-named period.
