Abstract
THIS second edition of a very entertaining book differs from the first by the inclusion of more than 500 new and unsolved examples, and a supplement on commercial arithmetic, which, no doubt, will be found very useful by the French schoolmaster, but is so incongruous with the rest of the work as to recall Horace's well-known parable of the mermaid and its analogues in literature and art.
