Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Progressive Higher Arithmetic, for Schools, Academies, and Mercantile Colleges: Combining the Analytic and Synthetic Methods, and Forming a Complete Treatise on Arithmetical Science, and Its Commercial and Business Applications
Such changes only have been made in the present edition as were necessary to conform to law and usage, and to meet a demand from many of the best teachers of the country for a full and practical treatise on Mensuration. Hence Foreign Exchange has been so modified in the Tables and Examples as to conform to the Act of March 3, 1878, and to present usage.
Thirty-six pages of useful and practical matter on Mensuration and Measurements, have been carefully prepared and substituted at the end of the book for the lengthy treatise of the Metric System heretofore presented, and which is scarcely ever used in this country.
