N. Johnston and Cos. Printers, Savannah. 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.
