The rules are laid down with propriety, and the ex.imph s anm xed are fufficient for their il luflration. One part of the work defc rvrs par ticular commendation. We mean that which the author ft ilea " Mercantile Arithmetic " It occupies a confidcrable portion of his book, but not more than its importance will juftify. We would recommend to the young Arithmetician to pay a particular attention to this branch. He wijl find its principles well explained And should he make himfclf ntafter of them, he will always have reason to acknowledge his obliga tion to the judicious and laborious author. We cannot but congratulate the riling generation on account of the many ufeful produ&ions which have lately appeared ; and in which their im provement has been principally consulted.—- Among those produft'.ons we mult place this trcatife of Arithmetic.
