PREFACE.

MY DEAR CHILDREN:

"Grace, mercy, and peace be with you."

February, 1847.

Some time since it came into my mind to put together a little information to assist you in the pleasing science of numbers, or what is generally called Arithmetic. I have endeavoured to do so in the best way I could, and in the most pleasing manner. The little information respecting various matters I hope will please, and rather draw to the study of figures than weary you in the undertaking. The Lord only knows in what line of life you may be called to move in, and the knowledge of calculation may be of service to you; and should this little work be acceptable, I will, for your further information gather up whatever comes in my way, and, at a future day, if spared, present it.

But after all your knowledge of numbers there will be a time when all earthly science will decay and die, and then to have a knowledge that we are numbered among that number which no man can number, as stated in Revelation, 6th chapter, 9th verse, will be a mercy indeed.

MY DEAR CHILDREN,

I remain,

Your affectionate Father,

6, York Terrace, Kingsland Road.

B. ISAAC.

The several numbers to be added together being set down in regular order, as seen above, they are to be added together; beginning at the bottom figure on the right hand, and proceeding upwards, till you have added all the figures in one column together; then place the first figure on the right hand, or unit figure, of the sum so found, under the same column,
