To the Encouragcrs cf Literature , and the Public in
general.
IT is an unnecessary talk to dcfcant largely on the im
portance of Arithmetic to a commercial country, its indis
pensable nefceffity having recommended its study to many
of the moll acute andiugt aious mathematicians that nations
can boast of.
Influenced, therefore, by an earned desire to facilitate
the progrels of youth, and of all who may make arithmetic
their study, as well as by a zeal to contribute my endeav
ors to any tiling that tends to promote the commercial in
terest of the community at. large, but more especially of
those who have honored me with their friendfhip and pa
tronage in the city of Charleston, I ‘ have undertaken to
publish, by fiibfcription, a newly compiled SYSTEM OF
ARITHMETIC, with A KEY to it, which has not been
heretofore attempted in America*
In this Key the leading examples in each rule are exhi
bited at full length, so that a learner, by the easiest mental
1 exertion, may acquire a competent knowledge of the rule.
After having attained this, and arrived to a perfect idea of
the arithmetical signs, all the succeeding examples and
questions in each rule are so arranged, dated, and wrought,
as to appear obvious to the weakest capacity.
Some may be led to imagine that it tends to prevent the
learner from calling forth that exertion of his own powers
which is necessary for a competent acquisition of any fei
ence: On examining, however, the methods in which the
questions are Rated and Wrought, it will be acknowledged,
that, while there is nothing left too arduous or difeouraging
to the careful lcholar, there is still ample scope for such
exercise and attention as may lie necessary to impress upon
the mind a lading knowledge of the rule.
In science, as well as in morals, example will ever en
force and illustrate precept; and for this realon an operation
wrought at full length will be found of more service to
beginners than either the tedious.direbftions of a teacher,
or the ufelefirdifpht) of learning conveyed by an author
in a lift of puzzling queifions.
It is certain that molt arithmetical scholars are retarded
by more difficulties in their prOgrefs than can possibly be
attended to by any one teacher, however expert in his
profeffion. In many lchools the time loft; on this occasion
is very considerable, which 1 flatter inylelf must be in a
great measure laved by a proper use of the Key. Those
also who would wifli to revile their arithmetic after they
have been put to business may derive great affiftauee from
it when they can no Linger apply to a teacher.
To such as are under the necelfity of being felf taught
arithmeticians the Key must finely be a welcome acquisi
tion. Moll treaties on arithmetic, even the molt approv
ed, though affording’ an example or two wrought out at
lull length in each rule, have notwithstanding to many
turned out a cabinet of curiosities, which.all their mental
exertions, without the aid of a teacher, were unable to
unfold. It is then presumed, that when thus furniflied
with a Key, any one, even of moderate abilities, with a
tolerable ll.are ol attention, may, by proper application of
it in whatever difficulties occur, become master, not only
of a fuperfie.ial part, as is too commonlv the case, but of
the whole Lftem, even of its moft abflrufe and difficult
operations.
Every attention has been pakl-to have the work as cor
redl as poflible; and no expence will be (pared in the pub
lishing, io as to have the lyftem executed in a manner ac
ceptable to a candid and difeerning public, to whom every
work of this k:ncl must recommend itfelf by its. utility
ratlier than by any thing tliuc cun be said in a preface by
its author.
Having obtained fufficient teftitnony relative Mr.
O’Keulv’s new system of arithmetic, and its key, con
firmed by eminent teachers of that science, we therefore
recommend it to the public as a work well fuitei to the
commerce ol the United States, and particularly calculated
to facilitate the improvement of youth.
