Excerpt from A Manual of Short Methods in Arithmetic, Designed for the Use of Schools and to Facilitate the Arithmetical Calculations of Business and Science
A very great amount of useful progress has been made, during the last thirty years, in the development of the power of common arithmetic to deal with many problems for which Algebra was wont, less intellectually, to be employed. Algebra has a. Boundless field for reasoning and operation, in which Arithmetic is only a very humble though a requisite auxiliary; but the employment of the more elementary processes of Algebra to solve arith metical questions used to' be too often resorted to, as a mechanical relief from the more useful work of purely arithmetical investigation.
