The amount of Space alotted to each subject, and the method of treating it, has been determined from a considera tion not only out of its importance, but also of the difficulty that many are apt to encounter by reason of their education having been limited. In the parts teaching simple calculations especial pains have been taken to make each subject plain and clear, by the aid of engravings and of explanatory notes placed alongside of the calculations.
