SMILEY'S ARITHMETICAL RULES AND TABLES 

 FOR YOUNG BEGINNERS. 



This is the best work of the kind now in print ; but teachers are particu-

SMILEY'S ARITHMETIC, or the New Federal Calculator, 

 in dollars and cents. This work contains, among other important im- 

 provements, Questions on the Rules and Theory of Arithmetic, which are 

 considered by teachers generally, very conducive to the improvement of 

 the pupil. 



Although a prejudice exists among some teachers in favour of the old 

 works on arithmetic, yet the very liberal patronage which this work has 

 received, must be considered as decisive evidence of the great estimation 

 in which it is held by most of the instructors of youth. Upwards of 300,- 

 000 copies have been printed and sold. The sums being altogether in dol- 

 lars and cents, gives it a decided preference over any other arithmetic in 

 use. The most distinguished teachers of our city and country pronounce 

 it superior to any other like work ; therefore the publisher sincerely hopes 

 this useful improvement will overcome the prejudice that many teachers 

 have to introducing new works, particularly those preceptors who wish to 

 discharge their duty faithfully to parent and child.
