Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Progressive Practical Arithmetic: Containing the Theory of Numbers, in Connection With Concise Analytic and Synthetic Methods of Solution, and Designed as a Complete d104-Book on This Science, for Common Schools and Academies
Robinson's Practical Arithmetic has been before the public so many years and its plan and features are so well known that it hardly seems necessary to call attention to them; but the new features of this revised edition are quite as worthy of mention as any in the older book. And here it behooves us to say that nothing of value or merit in the old Robinson's Practical Arithmetic has been discarded. The scheme of revision has been rather one of judicious addition than of omission, and yet by an economical adjustment and by an occasional dropping out of useless matter, it has been possible to add many valuable features and much new matter to the book without materially increasing its size.
