The following character of the above work, is given in the Review of the MaJJaekufctts Ma gazine, fpr Jan. 1793 : " This is a very ufcful work, and is no ill proof of thejodgment and industry of the author. The rules are laid down with propriety, and the examples annexed are fuffitient tor their il lustration. One part of the work deserves par ticular commendation. We mean that which the author ftilea " Mercantile Arithmetic." It occupies a considerable portion of his book, hut not more than its importance will juftify. We would recommend to the young Arithmetician to pay a particular attention to this branch. He will find its principles well explained And (hould he make himfelf matter of them, he will always have reason to acknowledge his obliga tion to the judicious and laborious author. We cannot but congratulate the rising generation on account of the many ufeful produttions which have lately appeared; and in which their im provement has been principally consulted.— Among those productions we must place this treatise of Arithmetic. We (hould be wanting in justice to the author, (hould we not acknow ledge that his work is in reality that which its title imports—The Preceptor's Assist ant, or Student's Guide."
