Emerson's Second Part, 



OF the North American Arithmetic is this day published 

 by LiNCOLX & Edmands. The plan of this work is 

 such, that mental and written arithmetic are very hap- 

 pily and conveniently united. Although Rules are not 

 excluded from Ihe book, yet the illustrations which the 

 author has introduced, render the operations on numbers 

 so clear and interesting, that the learner is prepared 

 rather to make his own rules, than lo rely on them from 

 his book. Boston, April 23, 1832.
