This treatise has been prepared with special refer ence to the wants of students of commercial colleges. All questions which tend to perplex the learner, with little or no practical utility, have been carefully ex cluded. Rules have been almost altogether omitted. The student must see the operation, and, having seen it, his judgment will enable him to deduce some method of solution for himself. The subjects are treated of in the order of their simplicity and utility. They are so independent of each other, however, that the teacher may introduce them in Whatever order his judgment may dictate.
