. . . The work is divided into six chapters. The first is on the 

 Unitary Method, and tribes solutions showing its apphcation to a 

 variety of problems, in Simple and Compound Proportion ; Percenta^'e, 

 Interest, Discount, Profit and Loss; Proportional Parts, Partnership; 

 Chain Rule, Exchange, All'^ation ; Commission, Insurance &c.. 

 Stocks ; and Miscellaneous Problems. The second is on Elementary 

 Rules, Measures and Multiples, Vulgar and Decimal FYactions. The 

 third contiiins Examination Paiiers for entrance into High Schools and 

 CoUe-^'iate Institutes, the fourth for candidates for third-class certifi- 

 cates' the fifth for candidates for the Intermediate Examination and 

 second-class certificates, and the sixth for candidates for third-class 

 certificates and Univtrsity Honours. It will be observed that the work 

 begins with the fundamental rules— those principles to be acquired 

 when a pupil first enters uiwn the study of Arithmetic, and airries 

 him forward till prepared for the highest class of certificates and for 

 Honours of the University. . . . Teachers will find in it a necessary 

 help in supplyins; questi-jns to give their clas>c.s. Those who aspire to 

 be teachers cannot have a better guide— indeed there is not so good a 

 one — on the subject with which it is occupied. 



From the ADVERTISER. 



. . . By all who are groping after some method better than 

 they have at" present, this volume will be cordially welcomed, and 

 many who have never suspected the possibility of accomplishing so 

 much by independent methods, will be, by a perusal of the mtroduc- 

 torjr chapter, impelled t<i think for themselves, and enabled to teach 

 their pupils how to do so. . . It is far superior to anything of the 



kind ever introduced into this country. . . . The typographical 

 appearance of the work is of a very high character— qirite equal, in 

 fact, to anything of the kind issued by the best publishing houses of 

 London or New York. 



From the TELESCOPE. 



. . . The plan of the work is excellent, the exercises being 

 arranged progre«.sively, each series preparing the student for the next. 

 The problems are all original, and so constructed aa to prevent the 

 student using any purely mechanical methiKis of solution. . . . We 

 should really feel proud of our Canadian Aulhors and publishing 

 houses, when we consider the infancy of our country and the progres* 

 it has made and is making in educational matters, and particularly ia 

 the recently pr^mished educational woika.
