Book Description
Excerpt from The North American Arithmetic, Vol. 3: Part Third, for Advanced Scholars Without the use of numbers, we cannot know precise ly how much any quantity is, nor make any exact com parison of quantities. And it is by comparison only, that we value all quantities; since an Object, viewed by itself, cannot be considered either great or small, muc or lit tle; it can be so only in its relation to some other Object, that is smaller or greater. Arithmetic treats of numbers: it demonstrates their various properties and relations; and hence it is called the Science of numbers. It also teaches the methods of computing by numbers; and hence it is call ed the Art Of numbering. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
