Book Description

Excerpt from A Shilling Arithmetic This little book has been prepared in the hope of meeting the requirements of Secondary Schools, and covers the course for the Oxford and Cambridge Junior Local Examinations. The scheme recommended by the Mathematical Association has been generally followed, though it was not found advisable, or even possible, to omit entirely the subject of Recurring Decimals. The book is written on the lines of Loney's Arithmetic for Schools, and both its text and examples have been used when they seemed best adapted to the present purpose. Many changes and simplifications have, however, been made which a considerable experience in School Teaching has suggested.
