Excerpt from Lectures on the Philosophy of Arithmetic and the Adaptation of That Science to the Business Purposes of Life: With Numerous Problems, Curious and Useful, Solved by Various Modes
The author has not sought to elucidate all the properties of numbers, nor to pursue a rigidly systematic course; but study ing the wants of those for whom he has written, he has aimed to make a book that 'will be useful to them; and that will foster a spirit of investigation and study, without affecting to despise the inferior attainments with which thousands must rest satisfied. He does not seek to supersede or to build up, any particular system, but to occupy general ground, heretofore un occupied, and to be useful. Teachers are sometimes found, that seem greatly at a loss in seeking to explain the principles of what they teach for to know, and to be able to tell clearly what we know, are two things, not always found together; and if a teacher were learned as a newton or a lardner, it would not benefit his pupils, unless he could communicate his know ledge. It is hoped that this book will be found to suggest some desirable modes of explanation. Locke says truly, It is one thing to think right, and another thing to know the right way to lay our thoughts before others with advantage and clearness, be they right or wrong.
To the thousands of young men in our country, who are without the aid of living teachers, and yet desire to study this subject thoroughly, we trust the book before them will prove an assistant, no less valuable than to the teacher or the pupil in the school room.
If found acceptable to his countrymen, the author will have his reward.
