EMERSON'S ARITHMETICS.
THE NORTH AMERICAN ARITHMETIC, in Three
Parts. By Frederick Emerson, late Principal of the Department
of Arithmetic, Boylston School, Boston.
PART FIRST is a small book, designed for the use of children
from five to eight years of age.
PART SECOND contains, within itself, a complete system
of Mental and Written Arithmetic, sufficiently extensive for
common schools.
PART THIRD, for advanced scholars, comprises a review
of the elementary principles of arithmetic, with a full development
of its higher operations.
KEYS to Emerson's Arithmetic, for the use of Teachers.
This System of Arithmetic is the result of five years' labor,
which the author entered upon with a view of preparing a standard
work, that would justify general use in American schools.
The effort has proved completely successful; and the ease and
rapidity with which scholars learn arithmetic from these books
is truly gratifying. The recommendations in favor of the work
are very numerous and decisive; they are from gentlemen who
do not lend their names to give countenance to indifferent publications.
They are such as the following:—
Letter
To Mr. Frederick Emerson.
—I have received the First and Second Parts of your North
American Arithmetic, and am highly pleased with the plan of the work, and
the manner of its execution thus far. It unites simplicity with fulness. and
will thus be sure to interest the beginner, whilst it furnishes, at the same time.
an ample guide to the more advanced pupil.
Professor of Mathematics and Natural Philosophy in
