 ADDITION. 
 
 11. Ajjduiois la tiie method of finding a number, which is equal to 
 two or more numbers taken together. 
 
ADDITION. 
 
 13 
 
 The numbers to bo added together are called Addends. • 
 The number found by adding two or more numbers together is 
 called the bum or amount of the several numbers so added. , 
 
 12. There are two kinds of Addition, Simplb and Compouito 
 It^ Simple Addition, when the numbers to be taken together are 
 all abstract numbers; or when they are all concrete numbers of the 
 same denomination, as all pence, all days, aU pints. 
 
 It is Compound Addition, when the numbers to be taken to'rether 
 are concwte numbers of the same kind, but of different denominations 
 of that kmd ; as pounds, shillings, and pence ; or years, months, and 
 days; or gallons, quarts, and pints. . .• 
 
 U }li ^^^ l^^" "^ ' ^'''^^' ^^*'''^ ^^*=''®®° ^^^ or °»ore numbers, signifies 
 that the numbers are to be added together : thus 2+6+7 signifies that 
 2, 5 and 7 are to be added together, and denotes their sura. 
 
 The sign =, equal, placed between two numbers, signifies that the 
 numbers are equal to one another. 
 
 The sign , Vinculum, placed over numbers, and the sign < ) or 
 U, called a BEAOKET, enclosing numbers within it, are used to denote 
 that all numbers under the vinculum, or within the bracket, are equally 
 affected_by all numbers not under the vinculum or within the bracket • 
 thus 2+3 or (2+3) or {2+8}, each signify, that whatsoever is outside 
 tne vinculum or bracket which affects 2 in any way, must also affect 3 
 m the same way, and conversely. 
 
 The sign .*. signifies 'therefore.' 
 
 SIMPLE ADDITION. 
 
 U. jRuxE. Write down the given numbers under each other so 
 that units may come under units, tens under tens, hundreds under 
 hundreds, and so on ; then draw a straight line under the lowest line! 
 
 Find the sum of the column of units ; if it be under ten, write ii 
 down under the column of unit«, below the line just draw^ IT^ 
 ceed ten, then write down the last figure of the sum under the column 
 of units, and carry to the next column the remaining figure or fi« r^s^

 SUBTRACTIOlir. 
 
 15. Subtraction is the method of finding what number remains 
 when a smaller number is taken from a greater number. 
 
 The number to be subtracted is called the subtrahend- the nnm 
 her subtracted from, the minuend. bi^btbahend , the num- 
 
 The number found by subtracting the smaUer of two numbers from^ 
 the greater is called the Remainder. 
 
 whf!.h" vt'"'/"' two kinds of Subtraction, Simple and Compound 
 which differ from each other in precisely the same way, in S 
 Simple and Compound Addition differ from each other. ' 
 
 17 The sign ~, minus, placed between two numbers, signifies that 
 the second number is to be subtracted from the first number

 flo that the remainder iis one hundred and eighty-fire (180).

 We cannot take 8 units from 8 units ; we therefore add 10 units to 
 the 8 units, which are thus increased to 13 units ; and taking 8 nnits 
 ft'om 18 units we have 6 units left ; we therefore place 6 under the 
 column of nnits ; but having added 1 ten units to the upper number, 
 -we must add the same number of units (1 ten units) to the lower 
 number, so that the difference between the two numbers may not be 
 altered ; and adding 1 ten units to the 8 ten units in the lower number, 
 we obtain 4 tens or 40 instead of 8 tens or 80. * 
 
 Again, we cannot take 4 tens from 2 tens ; we therefore add 10 
 tens or 1 hundred to the 2 tens, which thus become 12 tens or 120 ; 
 and then talcing 4 tens or 40 from 12 tens or 120, we have 8 tens or 80 
 remaining ; we therefore pkce 8 under the column of tens ; hxA having 
 ad^ed 1 hundred to the upper number, we must add 1 hundred to the 
 lower number for the reason given above ; and adding 1 hundred to 
 the 9 hundreds in the lower number, we obtain 10 hundreds or 1000 
 instead of 9Q0. 
 
 Again, we cannot take 10 hundreds from 1 hnn^red, and we there- 
 lore acid 10 hundreds or 1 thousand to the 1 hundred, which thus

 19. The following method of expressing numbers was used by the 
 Romans, and it is still in occassional, though not in common use among 
 ourselves. They represented the number one by the character I • five 
 by V; ten by X; fifty by L; one hundred by 0; five hundred by D 
 or Iq ; one thousand by M or CIo. 
 
 All other numbers were formed hy a combination of the above" 
 characters, subject to the following Rules : 
 
 1st, When a character was followed by one of equal or less value, 
 the whole expression denoted the sum of the values of the sin^rle 
 characters; for instance, II stood for 2; III for 3; Yl for 6 • VIH 
 for 8 ; LY for 55 ; LXXVII for 77; OOXI for 211. 
 
 2d. When a character was preceded by one of less value, the 
 whole expression denoted the dtj^^erence of the values of the sinrfo 
 characters; for instance, IV stood for 5-1, or 4; IX for lO-l or 9- 
 XIX for 10+10-1, or 19; XL for 60-10, or 40: XO for lOO-lo' 
 or SO.

 MULTIPLICATION. 
 20. Multiplication is a short method of finding the sum of any 
 given number repeated as often as there are units in another giten 
 number; thu« when 8 is multiplied by 4, the number produced by 
 
 r.n^f!,"''™^? .'"^"''^ '^'''^' ^''^ ^^" *^« multiplicand is to be 
 repeated, is called the Multipltke. ' 
 
 The number found by multiplication is called the Product. 
 The multiphcand and multiplier are sometimes called " Factoes " 
 because they are factors or makers of the product. ' 
 
 21 Multiplication is of two kinds, Cimplb and Compound. It is 
 termed Simple Multiplication, when the muUiplicaodTsTther an

 ne reoion /or th« Sul$ will appear from the /olUwing eoneidmtUon^ 
 
 When 7664 is to be multiplied by 7, we first take 4 seven times, 
 which by the Table gives 28, .'. e., 8 units and 2 tens; we therefore 
 place down 8 in the units* place and carry on the 2 tens: again, 6 tens 
 taken 7 times ^ive 35 tens, to which add 2 tew, and we obtain 87 tens 
 or 7 tens and 8 hundreds ; we put down 7 in the tens' place, and carry 
 on 8 hundreds : again, 6 hundreds taken 7 times give 42 hundreds to 
 Which add 8 hundreds, and we obtain 46 hundreds, or 4 thousands 
 and 6 hundreds ; we put down 5 in the hundreds' place, and carry on 
 the 4 thousands : again, 7 thousands taken 7 times give 49 thousands, 
 to which we add the 4 thousands, thus obtaining 68 thousands, which 
 we write down. 
 
 Next, when we multiply 7664 by the 9, we infact multiply it by 90 • 
 and 4 units taken 90 times give 860 units, or 8 hundreds, 6 tens, andO 
 units : therefore, omitting the cypher, we place the 6 under the tens' 
 place, and carry on the 8 to the next figure, and proceed wif;. m 
 operation as in the line above. 
 
 ^ When we multiply 7664 by the 8, we in fact multiply it by 8Go • and i 
 4 multipUed by 800 gives 1200, or 1 thousand, 2 hundreds, tens, and 
 units ; therefore, omitting the cyphers, we place the first figure 2 
 nnder the hundreds' pbce, and proceed as before. Then adding np the 
 three lines of figures ^h^Jl we have just obtained, we obtain the 
 product of 7664 by 89j". 
 
ce 4 seven timeg, 
 «; we therefore 
 is: again, 6 tens

 following method, which is termed "oASTma our ths rais''- add 
 together all the figares in tlie multiplicand, divide their sum by 9 
 aad set down the remainder; then divide the snm of the fignres ii! 
 the ranltiplier by 9, and set down the remainder; mnltiplj these i 
 remainders together, and divider their product by 9, aod set down the ^ 
 remainder: if this remainder be the same as the remafaider which 
 results after dividing the product, or the sum of the digits in the 
 product, of the multiplicand and multiplier by 9, the operation is Terr 
 probably right ; but if different, it is sure to be wrong.

 where the remainder must be one, whether 100, or the sum of th«

 DIVISION. 
 
 88. Dinsioir is the method of findmg how often one nnmber, called 
 the DivisoB, is contained in another number, called the Bividbnd. 
 The resalt is called the Quotibnt. 
 
 89. Division is of two kmds, Simple and Compound. It is called 
 Simple Division, when the dividend and divisor are, both of them,' 
 either abstract numbers, or concrete numbers of one and the same 
 denominatipn. 
 
 It is called Compound Division, when the dividend, or when both 
 divisor and dividend contain numbers of different denominatiors, but 
 of one and the same kind. 
 
 40. The sign ^, placed between two numbers, signifies that the 
 first is to be divided by the second. 
 
 41. In Division, if the dividend be a concrete number, the divisor 
 may be either a concrete number or an abstract number, arid the 
 quotient will be an abstract number or a concrete number, according as 
 the divisor is concrete %r abstract. For instance, 5 shillings taken 9 
 times give 30 shillings, therefore 30 shillings divided by 5 shillmgs give 
 the abstract number 6 as quotient ; and 30 shillings divided by 6 give 
 the concrete number 6 shillings as quotieiit. 
 
 SIMPLE DrVlSIOlT. 
 
 42. HuLB. Place the divisor and dividend thus : 
 
 divisor) dividend (quotient. 
 Take off from the left-hand of the dividend the least number of figures 
 which make a number not less than the divisor ; then find by the Mul- 
 tiplication Table, how often the first figure on the left-hand side of the 
 ". r .„v-^ .- -u^/iivaiucw ill Liic iiioii ugure, or ine nrsc two iigures, on the

 Carry on this operation till all the figures of the dividend have been 
 ^us brought down, and the quotient, if there be no remainder, will be 
 thus determined, or if there be a remainder, the quotient and the 
 remainder wiU be thus determined. 
 
 Nora 1 If any product be greater than the number which stands 
 above it, the last figure in the quotient must be changed for one of 
 smaUer vdue : but if any remainder be greater than the divisor, or 
 equ,a to It, the last figure of the quotient must be ohtoged for a 
 greater.

 working, we properly place the 4 under the 2 in the line above ; wo 
 subtract the product thus found, and we obtain a remainder of 8108 
 which represents three hundred and ten thousand, and eight hundred! 
 Bring down the 6 by the Rule ; this 6 denotes 6 tens or 60, but the 
 cypher is omitted for the reason above stated : the number now re- 
 presents three hundred and ten thousand, eight hundred and sixty: 
 6758 is contained 40 times in this, and 6758 x 40=270320 ; we omit the 
 cypher at the end as before, and subtract the 27082 from the 81086- 
 and after subtraction the remainder is 4054, which represents forty 
 thousand, five hundred and forty. Bring down the 8 by the Rule, and 
 the number now represents forty thousand, five hundred and forty- 
 eight: 6758 is contained 6 times exactly in this number. 
 
 Therefore §46 is the quotient of 2388268 by 6758. 
 
 The above example worked without omitting tht cyphers wooU 
 hiiVe stood thns : 
 
 6758) 2838268 (800-1-404-6

 hence it appears that the divisor is subtracted from the dividehd fiOO 
 times, and then 40 times from what remains, and then 6 times from 
 what then re'-'ains, and there being now no remainder, 6768 is con- 
 tained exactry 846 times in 2888268.

 687628 is 6876 hundreds and 28, of which 687600 oontsina 8400, 
 168 times with a remainder 800 oyer ; and as 28 does not oontdn 8400

 NoTB. The same rale applies when the divisor and dividend both 
 terminate with cyphers. 
 
 44. When the divisor is a composite number, and made np of two 
 factors, neither of which exceeds 12, the dividend may be divided 
 by one of the factors in the way of Short Division, and then the re- 
 sult by the other factor : if there be a remainder after each of these 
 divisions, the true remamder will be found by multiplying the second 
 remainder by the first divisor, and adding to the product the fint 
 remainder.

 {

 66782 
 6808-5 
 1260-8 
 
 the total remaindAT is 0x8+6, or 27+6=82. 
 
 Therefore the quotient arising from the division of 66782 by 46 Is 
 1260, w^*^ Ji remainder 82.' 
 
 th4 aheve Rule ia manifest from lihe following eon- 
 
 The rei.

 6808 is 6 times 1260 together with 8, 
 and 66782 is 9 times 6308 together with 6, 
 
 or is 9 times (6 times 1260+8), together with B, 
 or is 45 thn^ 1260+27+6, 
 or is 46 times 1260+32. 
 
 45. The truth of all results in Division may be proved by multiply- 
 ing the DIVISOR and quotient together, adding to the product the 
 remainder, if there be any ; the result (if the work ia correct) will bo

 51. To divide a number by any number of nines. 
 
 Rule. Divide the given number by the same power of 10 as is in. 
 dicated by the number of nines; repeat the same operation as often 
 as necessary with each successive quotient obtained; add all these 
 quotients together ; tJieir sum is the quotient required. 
 
 Ex. Divide 2897687 by 9999. ' 
 
 289-7687 
 •02897687 
 •000002897687 . 
 289-792679267687 
 NoTB 1. If the sum of the partial remainders should be the same 
 as the divisor in any example (i. e. a number of nines), it is plain that 
 there is no remainder, but that one should be added to ihe integral 
 part. 
 
 Note 2, By carrying on the operation, as in the given example 
 the digits which recur very soon appear; for instance, as in theexampu\ 
 9267, so that the answer above might be written 289-79267.

 Note 1^ As the origin of weights, a grain of wheat was taken from 
 the middle of the ear, and being well dried, was used as a weight, and 
 called * a grainJ* 
 
 Note 2. Diamonds and other precious stones are weighed by 
 ^GamU^^ each carat weighing about 8j grains. The term * carat' 
 applied to gold has a relative meaning only ; any quantity of pure gold, 
 or of gold alloyed with some other metal, being supposed to be divided 
 into 24 equal parts (carats) ; if the gold be pure, it is said to be 24 
 carats fine ; if 22 parts be pure gold and 2 parts alloy, it is said to be 
 22 carats fine. 
 
 Standard gold is 22 carats fine ; jewellers' gold is 18 carats fine.

 would, of coarae, in time b6 very considerable, and oauBe great con- 
 
 fasion. 
 
 Jnllus Offiuar, in order to corteot this error, enacted that every 4th 
 year should consi^t of 866 days; this was called Leap or BmextiU 
 year. In that year February bad 29 days, the extra day being called 
 
 ** the Intercalary " day. 
 
 But the solar year contains 866-242218 days, and the Julian year 
 
 contains 866'25 Ot 866^ days. 
 
 Now 866-26— 866-242218=-007782. 
 
 Therefore in one year, taken according to the Julian calculation, 
 the Sun would have returned to the same place in the Ecliptic 007782 
 of a day before the end of the Julian year. 
 
 Therefore in 400 years the Sun would have come to the same 
 place in the Ecliptic -007782x400 or 8-1128 days before the end of the 
 Julian year ; and in 1257 years would have come to the same place, 
 •007782 X 1267 or 9;7819, or about 10 days before the end of the Julian 
 year. Accordingly, the vernal equinox which, in the year 825 at 
 the council of Nice, fell on the 21st of March, in the year 1582 
 (that is, 1267 years later), happened on the 11th of March ; there- 
 fore Pope Gregory caused 10 days to be omitted in that year, 
 making the 15th of October immediately succeed the 4th, so that 
 in the next year the vernal equinox again fell on the 2l8t of March; 
 and to prevent tha recurrence of the error, ordered that, for the 
 future, in every 400 years 8 of the leap years should be omitted, 
 viz. those which complete a century, the numbers expressing which 
 century, are not divisible by 4; thus 1600 and 2000 are leap years, 
 because 16 and 20 are exactly divisible by 4; but 1700, 1800, and 
 1900 are not leap years, because 17, 18, and 19 are not exactly divi- 
 sible by 4. 
 
 This Gregorian style, which is called the new etyle, was adopted in 
 England on the 2nd of September 1752, when the error amounted 
 
 to 11 days. 
 
 The Julian calculation is called tho old etyle : thus old Michaelmas 
 and Old Ohristmaa take place 12 days after New Michaelmas and 
 Ketr Christmas. 
 
 In Russia, they still calculate according to the oU ttyle, but in the 
 6tM tfOtmtriw Gi £firot>e tho new style is nsed. Sir Harm Nioolao

 derived, compated and aecertaiued ; that 6760 grains shall be contained 
 in the Imperial F^andard Troy Pound, and YOOO such grains in the 
 Avoirdupois Pound. 
 
 Now the weight of a euUo inch of distilled water is 252-458 grains 
 Troy the barometer being at 80 inches and the thermometer at 62". 
 This aflFords the means o| recovering the Imperial Standard Pound 
 should it be lost. In fact, the brass weight of 1758 was destroyed or 
 lost at the above-mentioned fire. 
 
 8d. That the Standard Measure of Capacity for Liquids arid 
 Dry Goods shall be " the Imperial Standard Gallon,''^ containing 10 
 Pounds Avo'rdupois weight of distilled water, weighed in air at a 
 temperature of 62° Fahrenheit's thermometer, aq^ the barometer being 
 at 30 inches. 
 
 Now this weight fills 277*274 cubic inches, therefore the Imperial 
 Standard Gallun cuntnins 277*274 cubic inches. 
 
 The Imperial Bushel, consisting of eight gallons, will consequently 
 be 2218*192 cubic inches. 
 
 REDUCTION. 
 
 71. Wheu a number is expressed in one or more denomuiations, 
 the method of finding its value in one or more other denominations is 
 Reduction. Thus, £1 is of the same value of 240<?., and 7». l^d. is of 
 the same value as 342 farthings, and conversely : the method or process 
 by which we find this to be so, is Rbdxjotion. 
 
 72. First. To express a number of a higher denomination or of 
 high&r denominationa in units of a lower denomination. 
 
 Rule. Multiply the number of the highest denomination in the 
 proposed quantity by the number of units of the next lower denomina- 
 tion contained in one nnit of the highest, and to the product add the 
 number of that lower denomination, if there be any m the proposed 
 
 quantity. > • -n

 \d. multiplied by 6 is the same M(\*\+l4:^+{)d.^6 balf-penoo 
 e2^. ; we therefore write down }d.y and carry 2d, to the denomina- 
 tion of pence : » 
 
 Qd. multiplied by 6=80i. ; therefore (2+6x6)d!.=82i.=(2xl2+8)<f. 
 =28.+8d. ; we therefore write down SdL, and carry 2». to the denomina- 
 tion of sliillings : • 
 
 4». multiplle,d by 6 = 20«. ; therefore (2 + 4 x 6>. =» 22«. = (20 + 2)*. = 
 = £1 + 2«. ; we therefore write down 2«., and carry £1 to the deno- 
 mination of ponnd^ : 
 
 Now by Simple Multiplication £56x6=£280 ; therefore £(1+66x5) 
 =£(1+280)=£281. 
 
 Therefore the total amount is £281. 2». 6ld.

 the multiplier into factors, or into factors and parts: thus 16=3 ii6; 
 17=8x5+2; 28=4x5+8; 240=4x6x10: and at) on.

 The hist divisor will be the greatest, common measure required. 
 Ex. Required the greatest common measure of .i76 «nd 589. 
 Proceeding by the Rule given above, 
 
 475) 689 (1 
 475 
 
 114) 475 (4 
 466 
 
 19) 114 (6 
 114 
 
 therefore 19 is the greatest common measure of 475 and 589. 
 
 .Beoionjbr the above process. 
 
 ' Any number which measures 689 and 473 
 also measures their difference, or 589-476, or 114, Art. (37) 
 
 akomeasuresanymultipleofll4, andtherefore4xll4,or466,Art.(87); 
 and any number which measures 466 and 476, 
 . also measures their difference, or 476-456, or 19 ; 
 and no number greater than 19 can measure the original numbers 589 
 and 475 ; for it has just been shown that any number which measures 
 them must also measure 19. 
 
 Again, 19 itself will measure 589 and 476. 
 
 For 19 measures U4 (since 114=6x19); 
 therefore 19 measures 4 x 114, or 456, Art. (87) ; 
 therefore 19 measures 456+19, or 476, Art. (87);} 
 therefore 19 measures 475+114, or 689; 
 
 therefore since 19 measures them both, and no number greater than x» 
 can measure them both, 
 
 19 is their greatest common measure. '\

 Rule. Arrange the numbers in a line from left to right, with a 
 comma placed between every two. Divide those nuwoers which bav^ 
 a common measure by that common measure and place the quotients so 
 obtained and the nndivided numbers in a line beneath, separated aa 
 before. Proceed in the same way with the second line, and so on with 
 those which follow, until a row of numbers is obtained in which there 
 are no two numbers which have any common measure greater than 
 nnity. Then the continued product of aU the divisors and the numbera 
 in the last line will be the least common multiple required. 
 
 Note. It will in general be found advantageous to begin with th« 
 lowest prime number 2 as a divisor, and to repeat this as often as can 
 be done ; and then to proceed with the prime numbers 8, 6. duo. in tho

 VULGAR FRACTIONS. 
 
 90. In treating of the snbjeot of Vulgar FraotionB, it ia nanal to 
 make the following distinctions : 
 
 (1) A PfiOPEffi Fbaottok is one whose numerator is less than the 
 denominator ; thus, |, $, ?, are proper fractions. 
 ' (2) An Impbopbb Fit action is one whose numerator is equal to or 
 greater than the denominator ; thus, |, |, ][, are improper fractions. 
 
 (8) A SnfPLB FBAcriON Is one whose numerator and denominator 
 are simple integer numbers ; thus, j, | are ample fractions. 
 
 (4) A Mixed Nitmbeb is composed of a whole number and a 
 fraction; thus, 5^, 7J are mixed numbers, representing respectively 
 6 units, together with |tU of a unit ; and 7 units, together with fths 
 of a unit. 
 
 (5) A Compound Fkaotion is a fraction of a fraction ; thus, i off, 
 I of I of ^% are compound fractions. 
 
 (6) A Complex Fbaotion ia one which has either a fraction or a 
 
 '^ fl 21. 8 2 * 
 
 mixed number in one or both terms of the fraction ; thus, ~i — -» -rrj =7* 
 
 ' f 8 4| of 
 
 100. It is clear from what has been said, that every integer may be 
 considered as a fraction whose denominator is 1 ; thus, 6s|, for the 
 unit is divided into 1 part, comprising the whole unit, and 6 of such 
 parts, that is 5 units, are taken.

 IteoMonfoT the above proeea. 
 
 In the fraction ?, the unit is divided into 7 equal parts, and 2 of 
 those parts are taken ; in the fraction /^, the unit is divided into 
 21 equal parts, and 2 of such parts are taken : but since each part in 
 the latter case is equal to one-third of each part in the former case, 
 and the same number of parts are taken in each case, it is clear that A 
 represents one-third part of ^, or f-i-8. 
 
 Ex. XX. 
 
 (1) Divide | separately by 2, 8, 4, 5, 10. 
 
 (2) Divide jVt separately by 11, 20, 25, 45. 
 
 108. If the numerator and denominator of a fraction be both mul- 
 tiplied or both divided by the same number, the value of the fraction 
 toill not be altered. 
 
 Thus, if the numerator and denominator of the fraction ^ be mul- 
 tiplied by 8, the fraction resultin|t will be 5^, which is of the same 
 value as f . , 
 
 JReasonjor the above process. 
 
 In the fraction f the unit is divided into 7 equal parts, and 2 of 
 those parts are taken ; in the fraction i, the unit is divided into 21 
 equal parts, and 6 of such parts are taken. Now there are 8 times as 
 many parts taken in the second fraction as there are in the first 
 fraction ; but 3 parts in the second fraction are only equal to 1 part in 
 the first fraction ; therefore the 6 parts taken in the second fraction 
 equal the 2 parts taken in the first fraction ; therefore %=:{j.

 a vulgar fraction with any denominator, by multiplying the nnmW

 Eeduce (1) 7, 0, and 11, to fractions with denominators 8, 7, and 23 
 respectively; and (2) 20, lOO, 117, and 125, to fractions with denom- 
 inators 2, 6, 18, 28, ahd 35 respectively. 
 
 106. Multiplying the numerator of a fraction hy any number, it tho 
 tame in effect a$ dividing the denominator ly it, and conversely. 
 
 For if the numerator of the fraction f be multiplied by 4, the re- 
 Bultmg fraction is V ; and if the denominator be divided by 4 the 
 resulting fraction is |. ' 
 
 Now the fraction V- signifies that unity is divided into 8 equal parts, 
 and that 24 such parts are taken; these are equivalent ';^'&^ unitk: 
 also f signifies that unity is divided into 2 equal parts, and that 6 snfch 
 parts are taken; these are equivalent to 8 units: hence ^/ and fire 
 equal. The proof of their equality may also be pat in this form : that 
 aince the unit, in the case of the second fraction, is only divided intb 2 
 equal parts, each part in that case is 4 times as great as each part in 
 the case of the first fraction, where the unit is divided into 8 equal 
 parts; and therefore 4 parts in the case of the first fraction are equal 
 to 1 part in the case of the second ; or the 24 parts denoted by the first 
 ar^ equal to the 6 denoted by the second ; or, in other words, the 
 fractions ^ and | are equal. 
 
 Again, if we divide the numerator of the fraction | by 2, the re- 
 sulting fraction is f ; and if we multiply the denommator by 2, the 
 resulting fraction is ^. 
 
 Now, I signifies that the unit is divided into 8 equal parts, and that 8 
 of such parts are taken ; and ^ signifies that the unit is divided into 16 
 equal parts, and that 6 of such parts are taken : but each part in | is equal

 The unit in each of the equivalent fractions is divided into 8 equal 
 parts, and there are 7 and 4 parts respectively taken, and therefore the 
 difference must be 8 of such parta, or, in other words, the difference 
 of the two fractions is |. 
 
 KoTB 1. Remember always, before applying the above Rule, to 
 reduce fractions to their lowest terms, improper fractions to whole or 
 mixed numbers, and compound fractions to simple ones. 
 
 Note 2. If either of the given fractions be a whole or mixed 
 number, it is most convenient to take separately the difference of the 
 integral T>arts and that of the fractional parts, and then add the two 
 results together, as in the following examples. 
 
 Ex. 1. From 4| subtract 2 J. 
 Here 4-2=2, and i-i=|-|=i; 
 
 therefore the difference of 4^ and 2i=2|. 
 Ex. 2. Take 2| from 4^.

 putting llio several fractions under the form of one fraction, the sign 
 of X being placed between each of the factors in the numerator and 
 denominator, to cancel those factors which are common to both before 
 carrying into effect the final multiplication. Thus, in the foUowing

 If jY be divided by 8, the result is 
 
 TuTq ^' 88 ^^^- ^^• 
 
 This result is 6 times too small, or, iu other words, is only one-flfth 
 part of the required quotient, since, instead of dividing by 8, we have 
 t» divide by I, whioli is only one-fifth part of 8 ; and the quotient of 
 TT divided by g must therefore be 5 times greater than if the divisor 
 were 8. Henoo the above result ^ must be multipUed by 6 in order 
 to give the true quotient.

 Therefore, the quotient = ^ x 6 = ^ " '^

 values, while those to the Itft of the units' place increase in value tetifold 
 At each step froni the units' place ; therefore, according to the same 
 noUtlon, as we proceed from the units' place to the right every suc- 
 cessive figure would decrease in value ten/old. We can thus represent 
 whole numbers or integers and certain fractions under a uniform 
 notation by means of figures in the units' place and on each side of it ; 
 for instance, in the number 5678-241, the figures on the left of the dot*' 
 represent integen, while those on the right of the dot.denote ^ace«m#.

 The dot is termed the decimal point, and all ^gures to the right 
 of it are called Duoimals, or Decimal Fbaotions, because they are

 respective denominators.

 ^ Hence, we infer that every decimal, au. rvery aumber composed of 
 integers and decimals, can be put down in the fonu of a vulgar fr.iction 
 with the figures comprising the decimal oc those composing the inte-er 
 and decmial part (the dot being in either case omitted) as a numeraror, 
 and with 1 followed bv as many zeros as there are decimal places in

 827 
 
 •8270 = 
 
 8270 827

 We see that •327, •0(i27, and -8270 are respectively equivalent to 
 fractions which have the snme numerator, and the first und third of 
 which have also the same denominator, while the denominator of the 
 second is greater. 
 
 Consequently, -827 is equal to -8270, but ^0327 is less than either. 
 
 The value of a decimal is therefore not affected by affixing cyphers 
 to the right of it; but its value is decreased by prizing cyphers: 
 which effect is exactly opposite to t^at which is produced by affixing 
 and prefixing cyphers to integers. 
 
 124. Hence it appears that a decimal is muUipUed by 10, if the 
 decimal point be removed one place towards the right hand ; by 100 
 if two places; by 1000, if three places: and so on: and conversely, a 
 decimal is divided by 10, if the point be removed one place to the left 
 hand ; by 100, if two places ; by 1000, if threi places ; and so on. 
 
 Thus 6^6x10 =4«xlO =66. 
 
 5-6 X 1000 i= f » X 1000 = 5600. 
 6-6-.10 =44x^, =^5^ =.66. 
 5-6 + 1000 = f « X ^^^, .-. ^^^6^, = .ooo6. 
 
 125. The advantage arising from the use of decimals consists in 
 this; viz. that the addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division 
 of decimal fractions are much more- easily performed than those of 
 ^Igar fractions ; and although all vulgar fractions cannot be reduced 
 to finite decimals, yet we can find decimals so near their true valae:

 132. We have seen that, in order to convert a vulgar fraction into 
 [decimal, we have in fact, after reducing the fraction to its lowest 
 Irms and affixing ciphers to the numerator, to divide 10, or some 
 lultiple of 10 or of its powers, hy the denominator : now 10=2x6 and 
 lese are the only factors into which 10 can he hroken np; ther^re 
 pen the fraction is in its lowest terms, if the denominator be Hot 
 mposed solely of the factors 2 and 5, or one of them, or of powers 
 r2 and 6, or one of them, then the division of the numerator by the

 »o, orRiouBBiNo Dboimals, from the fact that, when a decimal does 
 not terminate, the same figures must come round again, or recur, or be 
 repeated : for since we always affix a cipher to the dividend, whenever 
 any former remainder recurs, the quotient wili also recnr. Now, when 
 we divide by any number, the remainder must always be less thin that 
 numW, and therefore some remainder must recur before we have oh-

 Mixed Oiboulatino Decimals are those which do not begin to recur

 Pure and mixed circulating decimals are generally written down 
 only to the end of the first period, a dot being placed over the first and 
 last figures of that period.

 136. The value of the circulating decimal -999... is found by Art.' 
 (184) to be ^ or 1 ; but since the diflerence between 1 and -gzzi-l be- 
 tween 1 and -99=01, between 1 and •999=-001, &c., it appears 'that 
 however far we continue the recurring decimals, it can never at any 
 stage be actually=l. But the recurring decimal is considered =1, 
 because the difference between 1 and -99... becomes less and less, the 
 more figures we take in the docimal, which thus, in fact, approaches 
 nearer to 1 than by^asy difference that can be assigned. , 
 
 In like manner, it is in this sense that any vulgar fraction can be 
 said to be the value of a circulating decimal ; because there is no 
 assignable difference between their values. 
 
 137. In arithmetical operations, where circulating decimals are con- 
 cerned, and the result is only required to be true to a ceri^n number 
 of decimal places, it will be sufficient to carry on the circulating part 
 to two or three decimal places more than the number required : 
 taking care that the last figure retained be increased by 1, if the suc- 
 ceeding figure be 5, or greater than 6 ; because, for instance, if we 
 have the mixed decimal -6288, and stop at -628, it is clear that -628 
 18 less, and -629 is greater than the true value of the decimal: but 
 •628 is less than the true value by -000888.... and -629 is greater th^ 
 the true value by -000111... 
 
 Now •000111...is less than -000888... 
 
 Therefore -629 is nearer the true value than -628. \

 Note. This method may be advantageously applied in the Addition 
 and Subtraction of circulating decimals. In the Multiplication and 
 Division, however, of circulating decimals, it is always preferable to 
 reduce the circulating decimals to Vulgar Fractions, and having found 
 the product or quotient as a Vulgar Fraction, then, if necessary to 
 reduce the resujt to a decimaL

 Note. In working examples in Practice, the above tables will often 
 have to be varied ; the knowledge which the scholar now has, will 
 render him expert in taking such aliquot parts as he may require in 
 in any particular example. 
 
 141. Practice is a short method of finding the value of any 
 number of articles by means of aliquot parts, when the value of a 
 unit of any denomination is given. Practice m£^y be divided into two 
 cases, Simple and Compound. -

 I. In this case the given number is expressed in the same denomi- 
 nation as the uuit whose value is given ; as, for instance, 27 bushels of 
 wheat at $1.10 per bushel. 
 
 The Rule for Simple PraoUoe will be easily shewn by the foUowine 
 examples. ^ 
 
 Ex. 1. Find the value of 1296 things at 16». lOK each. 
 The method of working such an example is the following: 
 If the cost of the things be £1 each ; 
 then the total cost=£l296.

 Note. The student must use his own judgment in selecting the 
 most convenient 'aliquot' parts; taking care that the sum of those 
 taken make up the given price of the unit. 
 
 Ex. 2. Find the value of 826 bushels of wheat at $1.80 per bus. 
 ^ If 1 bus. cost $1, cost of 825 bus. =$826 at $1 each.

 II. In this case tho given number is not wholly expressed in the same 
 (lenoraination as the nnlt whoso vuluo is given ; as for instance, 1 cwt. 
 2 qrn,, 14 lbs. at $10.24 per owt. 
 
 The Rule for Compound Practice will bo easily shown from the fol- 
 lowing examples. 
 
 Ex. 1. Find the value of 60 cwt., 8 qrs., 6 lbs. of sugar at $8,60 per, 
 cwt. 
 
 The method of working such an example is the following: 
 The value of 1 owt. of sugar being $8.50 ; . ^ 
 
 .•. value of 60 cwt. =$(8.50 x 60) 
 
 2 qr8.=^ (value of 1 cwt.)

 1 qr.=^ (value of 2 qrs.) 
 
 =\ ($4.25.) 
 5 lbs.=} (value of 1 (qr.) 
 =1 ($2,120 
 
 Therefore adding up the vertical columns, 
 value of 60 cwt., 8 qrs., 5 lbs. 
 
 The operation is usually written thus .

 such as the Rule of Three, &o., can nevertheless be readily solved in- 
 dependently by means of the foregoing principles. 
 
 The following examples, which are worked out, are intended to ex- 
 emplify various methods of reasoning. In the examples for practice 
 which follow them, questions will be found the solution of which may 
 be easily arrived at in a similar way : the number of such questions in 
 this place must necessarily be very limited, and therefore the fctudent 
 is strongly recommended to apply to all questions which are hereafter 
 classed under particular Rules, an independent method of solution, as 
 well as the one denoted by the Rule to which they are respectively aflBxed.

 RATIO AND PROPOETIOIT. 
 
 143. "Wb may ascertain the relation which one abstract number 
 bears to another abstract number, or one concrete number to another 
 concrete number of the same kind, in respect of magnitude, in two 
 different ways; either by considering how much one is greater or less 
 than the other; or by considering what multiple, part, or parts, one is 
 of the other, that is, how many times or parts of a time, or both, one 
 number is contained in the other. Thus if we compare the number 12 
 with the number 3, we observe, adopting the first mode of comparison, 
 that 12 is greater than 3 by the number 9 ; or, adopting the second mode 
 of comparison, that 12 contains 3 four times, and is thus '/- or four times 
 as great as 3. Again if we compare the number 7 with tho number 13, 
 ,re observe, according to the first mode of comparison, that 7 is less 
 than 13 by the number 6 ; and, according to the secoml, that as 1 is one 
 ttirteent'i part of 13, so 7 is seven thirteenth parts of 13, or j'^gths of 13. 
 
 144. The relation of one number to another in respect of magni- 
 tude ife called Ratio ; and when the relation is considered in the first 
 of the above methods, that is, when it is estimated by the difference 
 between tho two numbers, it is called Akithmetioal Ratio ; but when 
 it is considered according to the second method, that is, when it is 
 estimated by considering what multiple, part, or parts, one number is 
 of the other, or, which is seen from above to be the same tiling, by the 
 fraction which the first number is of the second, it is caVed Geome- 
 trical Ratio. Thus for instance, the arithmetical ratio of the numbers 
 12 and 3 is 9 ; while their geometrical ratio is y. or 4. In like manner 
 the arithmetical ratio of 7 and 13 is 6, while their geometrical ratio is ^\. 
 
 145. It is more common, however, in comparing one number with 
 another to estimate their relation to one another in respect of magni- 
 tude according to the second method, and to call that relation so esti- 
 mated by the name of Ratio. According to this mode of treatment, 
 which we shall adopt in what follows, " Ratio is the relation which 
 one number has to another in respect of magnitude, the comparison 
 being made by considering what multiple, part, or parts, the first num-

 149. When two Ratios are eqnal, in other words, when they can 
 be expressed by the same fraction, they are said to form a Peopoktion, 
 and the four numbers are caUed Pbopoetionals. Thus the ratio of 
 8 to 9 is equal to that of 24 to 27, for 8 : 9 = — , and 24; 27 = — = —. 
 
 The Ratios being equal, Proportion exists among the numbers 8,^9, 
 -<S4, 27; and those numbers are Proportionals. 
 
 150. The existence of Proportion between the numbers 8, 9 24 27 
 
 s denoted thus, 8 : 9 = 24 : 27, or 8 : 9 :: 24 : 27, which is usually read 
 
 thus 8 13 to 9 as 24 is to 27. j *««« 
 
 161. It has been stated that proportion is the equality of two ratios, 
 and we have explained that the two numbers constituting a ratio must 
 either be both abstract, or (if concrete) both of the same kind. In a 
 proportion if one of the ratios be formed by two abstract numbers, the 
 other may arisp from two concrete numbers. For it has been explained 
 (ArL 148) that if a ratio consist of two concrete numbers, we may 
 reduce them both to the same denomination, and then treat the result- 
 ing numbers as abstract, the ratio of those abstract numbers being the 
 same as that of the two concrete numbers from which they have arisen 
 ior the same reason, one of the two ratios constituting a proportion 
 may be formed from concrete numbers of one kind, while the other 
 IS formed from concrete numbers of a different kind; for 7 days • 13 
 days :; 7 miles : 13 miles, each ratio being in fact that of 7 to 13. Indeed 
 1 appears by (Art. 148) that the ratio of two concrete numbers may 
 always be expressed by a ratio of two abstract numbers. If both or 
 either of the ratios in a proportion be formed from concrete numbers 
 we may thus replace each such ratio by one arising from abstract 
 numbers, and in this way every term of the proportion will become 
 an abstract number ; so that, notwithstanding the remark in note 
 (Art. 23), any one of the terms may then be multiplied or divided by 
 any other. "^

 156. BuLE. Find out of the three quantities whioh are given, that 
 whiph is of the same kind as the fourth or required quantity ; or that 
 which is distinguished from the other terms by the nature of the ques- 
 tion : place this quantity as the third term of the proportion. 
 
 Now consider whether, from the nature of the question, the fourth 
 term will be greater or less than the third ; if greater, then put the 
 larger of the other two quantities in the second term, and the smaller 
 in the first term ; but if less, put the larger iu the first term and the 
 smaller in the second term. 
 
 Then multiply the second and third terms together, and divide 
 by the first, treating all three as abstract numbers. The quotient will 
 be the answer to the question, in the denomination to which the third 
 term was reduced. 
 
 Note 1. The first and second terms must be brought to one and 
 the same denominations. 
 
 Note 2. Although we have said in the Rule, multiply the second 
 and third terms together, and then divide their product by the first; it 
 will be found in most cases advisable not to perform the actual multi- 
 plication until we have discovered, by putting the expression in the 
 form of a fraction, whether there be any factor or factors common to 
 the numerator and denominator, and if so, have rejected such factor or 
 factors. 
 
 157. It may be proper to observe that the Rule of Hiree isap- 
 plioable in two different kinds of cases, according to which it is called 
 the Kule of Three Direct or the Rule of Three Inverse. The method 
 just stuted (Art. 156) is applicable to both kinds of cases. 
 
 The Rule of Three Direct is that in which more requires more, or 
 less requires less ; or. in other words, in which a greater number re- 
 quires a greater answer, or a less number a less answer. Thus in the 
 question, " If 4 acres of land cost $250, find the cost of 15 acres, at 
 the same rate." The 15 acres being more than the 4 acres, will require 
 a larger sum than $250 for their purchase, and so, in this case, more 
 requires more. Again in the question, " If 15 acres of land cost $937.50. 
 find the cost of 4 acres, at the same rate," the 4 acres being less 
 than the 15 acres, will require a less sum than $937.50 for their pur- 
 chase, and therefore, in this case- less renuires less. Such 
 to the Rule of Three Direct.

 The Rule of Three Inverse is that fai which more requires less, or 
 less requires more: or, in other words, in which a greater number 
 requires a less answer, or a less number a greater answer. Thus in the 
 question, " If 4 men can mow a certain meadow in 3 days, find the time 
 in wliich 6 men ought to mow it," the six men being more than the 
 four, sliould perform the work in less time, ^nd so, in this case, more 
 requires less. Again, in the question, "K 6 men can mow a oertaift 
 meadow in 2 days, find the time in which 4 men ought to mow it," the 
 4 men, being fewer tl.an the 6, will require a longer time for perform- 
 ing the work, and therefore, in this case, less requires more. Such 
 cases belong to the Rule of Three Inverse. 
 
 Ex 1. Find the value of 87 yards of silk, when 25 yards cost $«0. 
 
 There are here three given quantities, 25 yards, 37 yards, and $50, 
 and we have to find a fourth which will be the price of 37 yards. It is 
 manifest that the three given quantit 25 yards, 37 yards, $50, and 
 the required sum, must form a proportiuQ, because the 25 yards must 
 have the same relation in respect of magnitude to the 87 yards, which 
 the $50 (cost of 25 yards) has to' the required sum (cost of 37 yards). 
 Proceeding tlien by Rule (Art 156) we observe that $50 is of the same 
 kind as the required term, viz. money ; we make that the third term of 
 the proportion ; and since the required sum (cost of 87 yards) must 
 necessarily be greater than $50 (cost of 25 yards), we make 87 the 
 second term, and 26 the first. We have thus the first three terma 
 arranged as follows : 
 
 25 yds. : 37 yds. :: $50. 
 And the entire proportion will be as follows: 
 
 25 yds. :: 37 yds. :: $50 : required cost.' 
 The first and second terms are in one and the same denomination, and 
 require no reduction. And by previous reasoning we must now treat 
 the numbers as abstract, therefore 
 
 cost required=$^l^=$74. 
 
 Meaaonfor the above process. 
 
 We have-the cost of 25 yards given, viz. $50, in order to ea&hlA ni 
 
 find the cost " " 
 
 to 
 
 9

 From thenjonnection of the two questions with that originally pro- 
 posed, we observe that $26.88, thus obtained through two distinct 
 applications of the Rule of Three, must be the auswer to the origmal 
 question. 
 
 160. The DoTTBLB Rule of Theek is a shorter method of working 
 out such questions as would require two or more applications of the 
 Rule of Three ; and it is sometimes called th6 Rule of Five, from the 
 circumstance, that in the practical questions to which it is applied 
 there are commonly five quantities given to find a sixth. 
 
 161. For the sake of convenience, we may divide each question 
 mto two parts, the supposition, and the demand; the former being the 
 part which expresses the conditions of the question, and the latter the 
 part which mentions the thing demanded or sought. In the question 
 "If the carriage of 15 cwt. for 17 miles cost me $20.40, ^hat would 
 the carriage of 21 cwt. for 16 miles cost me ? " the words " if the 
 carriage of 15 cwt, for 17 miles cost $20.40," form the supposition; 
 and the words, "what would the carriage of 21 cwt. for 16 miles 
 cost me ? " form the demand. Adopting this distinction we may give the 
 following rule for working out examples m the Double Rule of Three. 
 
 162. Rule. Take from the supposition that quantity which corre- 
 •eponds to the quantity sought in the demand ; and write it down as a 
 third term. Then take one of the other quantities in the supposition' 
 and the corresponding quantity in the demand, and consider them with 
 reference to the third term only (regardmg each other quantity in the 
 supposition and ita corresponding quantity in the demand as being 
 equal to each other) ; when the two quantities are so considered, if 
 from tlie nature of the case, the fourth term would be greater than the 
 third, then, as in the Rule of Three, put the larger of the two quantities 
 in the second term, and the smaller in the first term ; but if less, put 
 the smaller in the second term, and the larger in the first term. 
 
 Again, take another of the quantities given in the supposition, and 
 the corresponding quantity in the demand ; and retaining the sj»ne third 
 teru), proceed in the same way to make one of those quantities a first 
 term and the other a second term. 
 
 If there be other quantities in the supposition and demand, proceed 
 m like manner with them. * 
 
 In each of these statings reduce the first and the second terms to

 INTEREST. * 
 
 163. Intekest is the sum of money paid for the loan or use of 
 some other sura of money, lent for a certain time at a fixed r'>U ; gen- 
 erally at so much for each $100 for one year. 
 
 The money lent is called the Pkinoipal. 
 
 The interest of $100 for a year is called the Rate peb Cent. 
 
 The principal + the interest is called the Amoitnt. 
 
 Interest is divided into Simple and Compound. When interest is 
 reckoned only on the original principal, it is caUed Simpo! Intebest. 
 
 When the interest at the end of the first period^ instead of being 
 paid by the borrower, is retained by him and added on as principal to 
 the former principal, interest being calculated on the new principal for 
 the next period, and this interest again, instead of being paid, is re- 
 tained and added on to the last principal for a new principal, and so on ; 
 it is called Compound Intebest. 
 
 SIMPLE INTEREST. 
 
 164. Tojind the Interest of a given sum of money at a giaen rate 
 per cent, for a year. 
 
 Rule. Multiply the principal by the rate per cent., and divide the 
 product by 100. 
 
 Note 1. * The interest for any given number of years will of course 
 be found by multiplying the interest for one year by the number of 
 
192 
 
 AEirmfEno. 
 
 years ; and the interest for anv parts of a year may be fonnd from the 
 interest for one year, by Practice, or by the Rule of Three.' 
 
 NoTS 1. If the interest has to be calculated from one given day to 
 another, as for instance from the 30th of January to the 7th of Feb- 
 ruary, the 80th of January must be left out in the calculation, and the 
 7th of February must be taken into account, for the borrower will not 
 have had the use of the money for one day till the 81st of January. 
 
 Note 2. If the amount be required, the interest has first to be 
 found for the given time, and the principal ha^ then to be added to it. 
 
 . Ex. Find the simple interest of $250 for one year at 8 per cent, per 
 annum. 
 
 Proceeding according to the Rule given above, 
 
 ^250 
 I 
 
 8 
 
 $20.00 
 
 therefore the interes^t is $20. 
 
 Measonfor the proceBs. / 
 
 The sum of $100 must have the same relation ia respect of magni- 
 tude to $250 as the simple interest of $100 for a year has to the simple 
 interest of $250 for a year; and thus the $100, $250, $8, and the re- 
 quired interest must form a proportion. (Art. 148.) 
 
 We have then • 
 
 $100 : $250 : : $8 : required interest, 
 whence, required interest =$— — -1_ (Art. 156.), 
 which agrees with the Rule given above.

 COMPOUND INTEREST. 
 
 1C6. To find, the Compound Intereit of a given sum qf money at a 
 given rate per cent. /or any number 0/ years. 
 
 Rule. At the end of each year add the interest of that year, 
 found by Art. (164), to the principal at the beginning of it; this will 
 be the principal for tlie next year ; proceed \A the same way as fir as 
 may be required by the question. Add together the interests so arising 
 in the pevetal years, and the result will be the cumpouud interest for 
 the given period. 
 
 The reason for the chove Rule is clear from what has been stated 
 in Arts. (163 and 164). 
 
 Ex. 1. Find the Compound Interest and Amount of $2000 for 
 2 years at 6 per cent, per annum. 
 
 By the Rule, 
 $2000

 .-. $100+$105 or $206=Compound Int. for 2 years, 
 and $2100+$105 or $2205=Amount. 
 
 Decimals may advantageously be employed in working questions in 
 Interest. 
 
 Ex. 2. Find the Compound Interest of $2000, for 2 years at 6^ per 
 cent, per annum. • • », 
 
 %^ int. on $100 is ^, or $'065 int. on $1.

 lat oa $2180 =(2180 x -066)$ =$188.46 ; 
 /. 8"* year'i Prin'.=$2180 + $188.46=12268.46. 
 Hence, Oompoand Int.a=$180 + $188.46 r^$268.46. 
 
 Kon 1. It is customary, if the oompoand interest be reqalred for 
 ftnj number of entire years and a part of a year (for instance for 
 6) years), to find the compoand interest for the 6th year, and then 
 talce f ths of the last interest for the fths of tiie 6th year. 
 
 KoTB 2. If the intercut be payable half-yearly, or quarterly, it is 
 dear that, the compound interest of a given sum for a given time will 
 be greater as the length of each given period is less ; the simple interest 
 will not be affected by the length of each period.

 PRESENT WORTH AND DISCOUNT. 
 
 167. A owes B $600, which is to be paid at the end of 9 months 
 from the present time : it is clear that, if the debt be discharged at once 
 (interest being reckoned, we will suppose, at 7 per cent, per annum), 
 B ought to receive a less sum of money than $600 ; in fact, suoh a sum 
 of money as will, being now put out at 7 per cent, interest, amount to 
 $600 at the end of 9 months. The sum which B ought to receive now 
 is called the Present Worth of the $600 due 9 months hence, and the sum 
 to be deducted from the $500, in consequence of immediate pnyment, 
 which is in fact the interest of the Present Worth, is called the Discount 
 of the $600 discharged 9 months before it is due. 
 
 We may tiierefore define Pbesent Wobth to be the actual worth at 
 the present time of a sum of money due some time hence, at a given 
 rate of interest ; and we may define the Discount of u sura of money 
 to be the interest of the Present Worth of that sura, calculated from the 
 present time to the time wb .a the sum would be properly payable.

 NoTB 2. lo the discharge of a tradesman's bill it is usual to deduct 
 interest iostead of disconoL ; thus, if B contracts with A a debt of $100, 
 A giving 12 months' credit, it is usual io business, if the interest of 
 money be reckoned at 5 per cent, per annum, and the bill be discljarged 
 at once, for^ to throw off $5, or for J to. receive $95 nstead of $100; 
 but if A were to put out the $95 at 5 per cent interest it will not 
 amount to $100 in 12 months; therefore such a proceeding is to the ad- 
 vantage of B : the sum of money wliich in strictness ought to have been 
 deducted, was not $5, tl-d interest on the whole debt, but $4. Td^^,, the 
 interest of ^he present worth of the debt, i. 0., the discount 
 
 NoTB 3. Bankers and Merchants in discounting bills calculate in- 
 terest, instf^ad of discount on the sum drawn for io the bill, from the 
 time of their discounting it to the time when it becomes due, adding 
 THBEK DAIS OF ORAOB, wbich days are allowed usually after the time 
 a bill is KOMiNALLT due, before it is leoallt due ; which is, of course, 
 an additional advantage. When a bill is payable on demand, the days 
 of grace are not allowed. 
 
 NoTB 4. If a bill, without the days of grace, should appear to be 
 due on tlie 81st of any month which contains only 80 days, the last 
 day of that month, and not the first day of the next, is considered as 
 thst dav on which the bill is dae^ Thus a bill drawn on the 81st of 
 October, at 4 months, would be really due, adding in the days of grace,

 on the previons Satnrdaj. 
 
 Ex. A bill of £1000 is drairn on Feb. 16th, 1861, at 7 months' date • 
 it is disconnted on the 8th of July at 5 per cent. What does the banW

 170. If the 6 per cent. " Dominion of Oanada " stock be quoted in 
 the money market at 105|, the meaning is, that for $105^ of money a 
 person can purchase $100 of such stock, for which he will receive a 
 document which will entitle him to half-yearly payments of Interest 
 or Dividends, as they are called, from the Government of the country, 
 at the rate of 6 per cent/ per annura, on the stock held by hin^ until 
 the (Government choose to pay off the debt. 
 
 Similarly, if shares in any trading company, which were originallj 
 fixed at any given amount, say $100 each, be advertised in the share- 
 market at 86, the meaning is, that for $86 of monoy one share can be 
 obtained, and the holder of such share will receive a dividend at the 
 end of each half-year upon the $100 share according to the state of the" 
 finances of the company.

 The amoantof 4«bt owing by the Government is celled the Na- 
 TiovAL Debt, or the Funds. The Government reserves to itself the 
 option of paying off the principal or debt at any future time, pledging 
 itself, however, to pay the interest on it regulai'ly at fixed periods in the 
 mean time. 
 
 From a variety of caases the price of stock is continnally varyiiig. 
 A fnndholder can at any time sell his stock, and so convert it into 
 money, and it will depeud upcm the price at which he disposes of it, as 
 compared with the price at which he bought it, whether he will gain 
 or lose by the transaction. 
 
 KoTB 1. Purchases or sales of stock are made through Brokers, 
 who generally charge $|, or 12 J cts. per cent., upon the stock bought 
 or sold : so that, when stock is bought by any party, every $100 stock 
 costs that party $} more than the market-price of the stock : and when 
 stock is sold, the seller gets $^ less for every $100 stock sold than the 
 market-price. 
 
 Thus, the actual cost of $100 stock in the 8 per cents, at 94^, ia 
 t{9^ -f- i), or $94f . The actual sum received for $100 stock in the 3 per 
 cents, at 94^, is $(94f-|), or $94. 
 
 Unless the brokerage is mentioned, it need not be noticed in work- 
 ing examples in stocks. 
 
 NoTB 9. When $100 stock costs $100 in money, the stock is said 
 tobeatjpor. 
 
 When $100 stock costs more than $100 in morey, the stock is said 
 to he At & premium. 
 
 When $100 stock costs less than $100 in money, the stock is siud 
 to be at a diaeaunt.

 Bbokebaob is of the same nature as Commission, but has relation 
 to money transactions, rather thao dealings in goods or mercbandise. 
 
 lusDBANOE is a oontract, by which one party, on behig paid a oer- 
 tain sum or iVm««w by another party on properly, which is subject 
 to rislc, undertalces, in case of loss, to malce good to the owner the 
 value of that property. The document which expresses the contract is 
 called the Policy of Inmrance, 
 
 Life Assurancb is a contract for the payment of a certain snm of 
 money on the death of a person, in consideration of an annual premium 
 to be contmued during the life of the Auured, or for a certain number 
 of yearp. 
 
 Questions on Commission. Brokerage, and Insurance, these charges 
 being usually made at so much per cJent., amount to the some thing as 
 findmg the interest on a given sura of mopey at a given rate for one 
 year, and may therefore be worked by the Rule for Simple Interest or 
 by the Rule of Three.

 EQUATION OF PAYMENTS. 
 
 1T9. "When a person owes nnother several sums of money, duo at 
 different times, the Rule by which wo determine the just timo when 
 the whole debt may be discharged at one payment, is called Iho 
 Equation of Payments. 
 
 Note. It is assumed in this Rule that the sum of the interests of 
 the several debts for their respective times equals the iutcrest of tho 
 sum of tho debts for tho cqunted time. 
 
 Rule. Multiply each debt into tlio time which will elapse before 
 it becomes due, and then divide the sum of the products by the sum 
 of the debts ; the quotient will bo the equated time required. ^^ 
 
 Ex. 1. A owes B $50D, whereof $200 is to be paid in 3 monthr, 
 and $303 in 5 months : find the equated time. 
 
 Proceeding according to the Rule given above, 
 then (200 x 3 + 300 x 5) = (200 + 300) x equated tune in months, 
 whence, equated time = 4|- months. 
 
 The reason for the above process^ in accordance with our assumption, 
 is clear from the consideration that tho sum of the interesfs of $200 
 for 3 mofiths, and $300 for 5 months, :s the same as the interest 
 of $(G0O + 1500), or $2100 for 1 month; if therefore A has to pay 
 $jGO in one sum, the question is, how long ought ho to hold ib so that 
 tlio intcro^t on it may be t':o same as tho interest on $2100 for 1 month. 
 Tho statement therefore will be this:

 ABITHMEno. 
 
 ,1'81. By the OoTTBSE of Exohangb is meant the variable sum of tha 
 money of any place whiclj is given in exchange for ajized sum of money 
 of another place. The Couese of Exchange between any two 
 countries will be affected by whatever causes may increase or diminish 
 the demand for Bills of Exchange between them : tlius, for instance 
 in London, one pound sterling, a fixed sum, is given for a variable 
 number of French francs, more or less, according to circumstances. 
 
 182. By the Par of Exchange is meant the intrinsic value of the 
 coin of one country as compared with a given fixed sum of money of 
 another. 
 
 The par of exchange depends on the weight and fineness of the 
 coins, wliich are known either from the Mint regulations of the differ- 
 ent countries, or by direct as3:iy. If the metal from which the par is 
 calculated be not a standard of value in both countries, its market value 
 in that country in which it is not a standard must be taken into account. 
 Thus, in the United Kingdom gold is Jie only standard of value. 
 
 183. In orde^ to facilitate mercantile transactions between persons 
 residing at a dlstanco from eacli other, payments are usually made by 
 Promimry Notes, Drafts or Bills of Exchange. The holder of either 
 of these BUls being entitled to obtain its value in gold from the party 
 on whom it is drawn. 
 
 A Promissory Note is a written engagement to pay a sum of money 
 after the expiration of a certain time.

 Note 1. Three Bills of Exchange, constituting a set, called First, 
 Second and Third of Exchange are usually made for the same amount 
 and sent off by different conveyances, to provide against delay, if the 
 first, should miscarry: only one of course is paid, the others being 
 cancelled. 
 
 Note 2. The party who signs either of the above forms is called the 
 maher or drawer of the bill ; the party on-whom drawn, is called the 
 drawee, and after accepting it, the acceptor. 
 
 The usual way of accepting a bill is for the drawee to write his name 
 across the face or back of the bill ; the meaning of which is, that he 
 undertakes to pay the bill When it becomes due. The party who buys 
 a bill, is called the luyer or remitter; the party who has possession of 
 it the holder, and the party to whom the money is to be paid, the payee. 
 
 If the holder or payee of a bill wishes to dispose of it either by 
 selling or transfering it to another party, ho writes his name on the 
 back of it, i. e. he^endorses it, and is then called the endorser. 
 
 If a bill is not paid, or refused to be paid, it is protested; protesting 
 a hill consists in a party called a Notary Public notifying the maker, 
 endorser, «feo., of the non-payment, or non-acceptnnce of the bill. 
 
 Note 8. By an Act of the Parliament of the United Canadas, passed 
 in 186-, the dollar was declared to be in value, one-fourth of the 
 pound currency. The pound currency to be of the weight of 101-821 
 grnins Troy and of the standard fineness of the gold coinage of the 
 United Kingdom. 
 
 From the above it follows, that the legal value of the sovereign or 
 pound sterling = $4.86^, which also is its intrinsic value. 
 
 But by an Aot passed mnny years ago, tlie sovereign was declared 
 to be only equal in value to $4-444, or £9 (sterling) = $40; ppd tiiis is 
 the value which almost invariably is quoted in mercantile trmsnc- 
 tions: the premium on this depreciated value of the sovereign which 
 will make it equal to its intrinsic value is ^ per cent. 
 
 Ex. 1. A merchant in Toronto has to remit to one in London £785 
 sterling; how many dollars will he have to give for the bill of ex- 
 change ; exchange at 109 per cent., commission \ per cent. ?

 SECTION YI. 
 
 SQUARE ROOT. 
 
 186. The Sqitaee of a given number is the product of that number 
 multiplied by iiself. Thus 36 is the square of 6. 
 
 The square of a number is ft-equently donotoci by placing the figure 2 
 above the number, a little to the riglit. Thuc 6- denotes the square 
 of6, so that6-'=^3G, 
 
 187. The Squaiie Root of a given number is a number, which 
 when multiplied by itself, will pro(hico the given number. 
 
 The square root of a number is sometimes denoted by placing the 
 sign V before the number, or by placing the fraction ^ above tho 
 number, a little .to the right. Thus V3G or (36)i denotes the square 
 root of 36 ; £0 that V36 or (36) J = 6. - • 
 
 188. The number of figures in the Square Root of any number 
 may readily be known from the following considerations: 
 
 The square root of 1 is 1 
 
 100 is 10 
 10000 is 100 
 1000000 is 1000 
 &c. 
 
 IS 
 
 &c. 
 
 Hence it follows tliat tho square root of any number between 1 
 and 100 must lie between 1 and 10, that is, will have one figure in its 
 inteirral part; of any number between lUO and 10000, must lid between 
 10 and 100, thfit i«, will have two figures in its integral pnrt ; of any 
 number between 10000 and 1000000, must lie between 100 and 1000, 
 that is, mui^t have three figures in its integral part; and so on. 
 "whoreri.'io, if u point ho piuced over tlie units' plaee of the irairiber, 
 and thence over every second figure to the left of that place, the points

 tjjat _ot 193 of two fignrco; that of 17G432 of three figures; lliat of

 it appears, that in extracting the square root of decimal:!, the decimal 
 places must first of all bo made even in number, by affixing a cypher to 
 the right, if this be necessary ; and then if points be placed over every 
 second figure to tlie right, beginning as before from the uuits' jjlace of 
 whole numbers, the number of such points will show the number of 
 decimal iilaoes in the root. ' 
 
 189. Bute for extracting the Square Boot of a number, 
 ' Place a point or dot over the units' pLice of the given number ; and 
 thence over every socoml figure to the left of that place ; and thence also 
 over every second figure to the right, when the number contains de- 
 cimals, annexing a cypher when the number of decimal figures is odd; 
 thus dividing the given number into periods. The number of points 
 over the wholo numbers and decimals respectively will shew the num- 
 ber of whole numbers and decimals respectively in the square root. 
 
 Find tha greatest number Avhose square is contained in the first 
 period at the left ; this is, the first figure iu the root, which placa in 
 the form of a quotient to the right of the given number. Subtract its 
 Dquare from the first period, and to the remainder bring down, on the 
 right, the second period. 
 
 Divide the number thus formed, omitting the last figure, by twice 
 the part of the root already obtained, and annex the result to the root 
 and also to the divisor. 
 
 Then multiply the divisor, as it now stands, by the part of the root 
 last obtained, and subtract the product from the number formed, as 
 above mentioned, by the first remainder and second period. 
 
 If there be more x>eriod3 to bo brought down, the operation must bo 
 repeated.

 After pointing, according to the Rule, we take the first period, or 13, 
 and find the greatest number whose pquare is contained in it. Since 
 the square of 3 is 9, and that of 4 is 16, it is cleiir that 8 U the greatest 
 number whoso square is contained in 13 ; therefore place 3 in the form 
 of a quotient to the right of the given number. Squire this nuniber, 
 and put down the squnro under the 13 ; subtract it from the 13, aud to 
 the remainder 4 afl3x tl>e next period 09, thus formini; the number 4G9. 
 Take 2x8, or 6, for a divisor ; divide the 409, omitting tlie last figure, 
 that is, divide the 46 by the 6, and we obtain 7. Annex tl»o 7 to the 
 8 before obtninqd and to the divisor G ; t!ien muUiplvin,; the 07 by 
 the 7 wo obtain 469, which being subtracted f oin the 409 before 
 formed, leaves no remainder ; therefore 37 is tlia square root of 13G9. 
 
 Reason for the above process 
 
 Since (37)^=1369, and therefore 37 is the square root of 1309; wo 
 have to investigate the proper Rule by wliich the 37, or 30 + 7, may be 
 obtained from the 1309. 
 
 Now 1369=900+d69=90C +49+420 
 =(30)2+7=+2x30x7 
 =(30)3+2x30x7+7^ 
 
 where wo see that the 1369 is separated into parts in which the 80 and 
 the 7, together constituting the square root, or 87, are made distinctly 
 apparent. Treating then the number 1369 in the following form, viz. 
 
 (30)2+2x30x7+7^ 
 
 we observe that the square root of the first part, or of (30)^ is 80 ; which 
 is one part of the required root. Subtract the square of the 30 from the 
 whole quantity (30)^ +2 X 30 X 7+ 7^, and v/o have 2x30x7+7= nmainlng. 
 Multiply the 80 before obtained by 2, and we see that the product is 
 ' contained 7 times in the first part of the remainder, or in 2 x 30 x 7 ; find

 469 ; 80 that by this division we shall gain the 7, the remaining part 
 of the root. If we had found that the 2 x 30+7 or 67, when multiplied 
 by the 7, had produced a larger number than the 469, the 7 would 
 have been too large, and we should have had to try a smaller number, 
 as 6, in its place. 
 
 The process will be shewn as follows ; 
 
 (30)3+2x30x7+7^(30+7 
 (80)3 
 
 2x80+7 
 
 2x80x7+73 
 2x30x7+7=* 
 
 This operation is clearly equivalent to the following : 
 
 900 + 420 + 49 (30 + 7 
 900 
 
 60+7 
 
 420 + 49 
 420 + 49 
 
 This again is equivalent to the following: 
 
 1369 (37

 which is the mode of operation pointed out in the Rule. 
 
 Note 1. The reasoning will be better understood when the 
 student has made some progress in Algebra. 
 
 Note 2. The divisor obtained by doubling the part of the root 
 already obtained, is often called a trial divisor, because the quotient 
 first obtained from it by the Rule in (Art. 189), will sometimes be too 
 large. It will be readily found, in the process, whether this is the 
 case or not, for when, according to our Rule, we have annexed the 
 quotient to the trial divisor, and multiplied the divisor as it then stands 
 by that quotient, the resulting number should not be greater than the 
 sumbef from whlcli it ought to be «ubtracted. If it be, the quotient 
 is too large, and the number next BmaUer should be tried in its place. .

 the ordinary integral notation, and quite in agreement with It, the reason 
 given for the process in -whole nnmlers will apply also to decimals. 
 
 191. To extract the sqnare root of a vulgar fraction, if the nume- 
 rator and denominator of the fraction bo perfect squares, we may find 
 the square root of each separately, and the answer will thus be ob- 
 tained as a vulgar fraction ; if not, we can first reduce tho fraction to 
 a decimal, or to a whole number and decimal, and then find the root 
 of the resulting number. The answer will thus be obtained either as 
 a decimal, or as a whole number and decimal, according to the onse. 
 Also a mixed number may be reduced to an improper fraction, and its 
 root extracted in the same way.

 CUBE ROOT. ^ 
 
 192. The Cube of a given number is the product which arises 
 from multiplying that number by itself, and then multiplying the re- 
 sult again by the same number. Thus 6x6x0 or 216 is the cube of 6. 
 
 I The cube of a number is frequently denoted by plicing the figure 3 
 above the number, a little to the right. Thus 0^ denotes the cube of 6, 
 60 that 63 = 6 X 6 X 6 or 216. 
 
 193. The Cube Root of a given number is a number, which, when 
 multiplied into itself, and the result again multiplied by it, will produce 
 the given number. Thus 6 is the cube root of 216 ; for 6 x x 6 is = 216. 
 
 Tiie cube root of a number is sometimes denoted by placing the sign 
 y ^before the number, or placing the fraction ^ above the number, a 
 little to the right. Thus V^TO or (216)3 denotes the cube root of 216 j 
 so that V216 or (216)i = 6. 
 
 194. The number of figures in the Cube Root of any number may 
 readily be known from the following considerations : 
 
 , The cube root of 1 is 1

 Hence it follows that the cube root of any number between 1 and 
 1000 must lie between 1 and 10, that is, will have one figure in its 
 integral part; of any nnmber between 1000 and 1000000, must lie 
 between 10 and 100, that is, will have two figures in its integral part ; 
 of any number between lOOOOOO and 1000000000, must lie between 100

 Thus the cube root of 67t consists, so far as it is integral, of one figure ; 
 that of 198999 of two figmes ; that of 134198999 of thret figures; and 
 so on.

 it appears, that in extracting the cube root of decimals, t!iO decima:i 
 places must first of all be made three, or some multiple of three in 
 number, by affixing cyphers to the right, if this be necessary; awl 
 then if points be placed over every third figure to the right, beginning 
 as before from the units' place of whole numbers, the number of such 
 points will shew the number of decimal places in the cube root 
 
 195. HuU for extracting the Cube Root of a number. 
 
 Place a point or dot over the units' place of .the given number,' 
 and thence over every third figure to the left of that place; and 
 thence also over every third figure to the right, when the number con- 
 tarns decimals, affixing one or two cyphers, when necessary, to make 
 the number of decimal places a multiple of 8 ; thus dividing the given 
 number into periods. The number of points over the whole numbers 
 and decimals respectively will shew the number of whole numbers 
 and decimals respectively in the cube root. • 
 
 Find the greatest number whose cube is contained in the firpt 
 period at the left ; this is the first figure in the root, which place in 
 the form of a quotient to the right of the given number. 
 
 Subtract its cube from the first period, and to tho remainder bring 
 down, on the right, the second period. 
 
 Divide the number thus formed, omitting the two last figures, by 3 
 times the square of the part of the root already obtained, and affix tiie 
 result to the root , 
 
 Now calculate the value of 3 times the square of the first figure in 
 the root (which of course has the value of so many tens) +8 times the 
 product of the two figures in the root+the square of the last figure in 
 the root Multiply the: value thus found by the second figure in the

 'After pointing according to the Rule we take the first period, or 16, 
 and find the greatest number whose cube is contained in it. Since the 
 cube of 2 is 8, and that of 3 is 27, it is clear that 2 is the greatest number 
 whose cube is contained in 15 ; therefore place 2 in the form of a 
 quotient to the right of the given number. 
 
 Cube 2, and put down its cube, viz. 8, under the 15 ; subtract it 
 from the 15, and to the remainder 7 aflax the next period 625, tlms 
 forming the number 7625. Take 3 x23, or 12, for a divisor ; divide 76 
 by 12, 12 is contained 6 times in 76 ; but when the other terms of the 
 divisor are brought down, 6 would be found too great, therefore take 5. 
 Annex the 5 to the 2 before obtained; and calculate the value of 
 8x(20)2+3x20x5+5«, which is 1525 ; multiplying 1525 by 5 we obtain 
 7625, which being subtracted from 7025 before formed leaves no re- 
 mainder, 
 
 therefore 25 is the cube root required. 
 
 Eeaaon for the above process. 
 
 Since (25)3=15625, and therefore 25 is the cube root of 15625 ; we 
 have to investigate the proper Eule by which t^o 25, or 20+5, may bo 
 obtained from 15625. , - n -4

 apparent Treating then the nwnber 16626 in the following form viz.

 we observe that the cube root of the first part or of (20)» is 20 • which 
 is one part of the required root. Subtract the cube of the 20 from thai 
 whole quantity, and we have 3x(20) x5+3x20x6a+53 remaining. 
 Multiply the square of the 20 before obtained by 8, and we see that

 m 8 x(20)^ x5 ; and adding 8 times the product of the two terms of the

 .f'^iu*'^^ see that this latter quantity is contained 6 times ex- 
 actlym the remamder 3x(20)-x6+3x20x5»+63, so that by this diW-

 The process will be shown as follows :

 This operation is clearly equivalent to thb following :

 Thns, in the Common Scale, we have ^m different characters. If i 
 the radix were 2, then we would only have two; viz., 1, 0. , 
 
 If 8, then we would have three^ 1, 2, ; and so on. If we select a 
 radix larger than 10, in that case, we would have to immt a twio 
 character for each additional unit. Thus, if the radix were 12, for 
 10 and 11, wo might use the characters r,€. 
 
 200. The scales are called, according as the number 2, 8, 4, 6, 6, 7,' 
 8, 9, 10, 11, or 12, is the radix, the Binary^ Ternary^ Quaternary^ 
 Quinary, Senary, Septenary, Octenary, Nonary, Denary^\

 Note 1. The different scales are sometimes denoted thus; 231 in! 
 the quarternary scale is written (281)^; 9r*45 in the duodenary is' 
 written (9r645)ig; and similarly of other numbers. 
 
 Note 2. The operations of Addition, Subtraction, Multiplication, ; 
 Division, Square and Cube Boots, are performed on numbers in any 
 given Scale as in the common Scale of Arithmetic, care being' 
 taken that instead of using 10 and its powers, as in the common or

 the particular scale in which we are working.

 ABITHMETIO. 
 
 226. A Rbotaxoulab Paeallblopipbd is a solid, contained .by six 
 right-angled quadrilateral figures, whereof every -q ■ 
 
 opposite two are parallel. 
 
 The figure ABCD is a rectangular parallele- 
 piped. Q 
 
 ■ 227. A CUBE is a solid figure qontained by six 
 equal square?. 
 
 228. A BIGHT cTLiNDEE is a Bolid described by the revolution of an 
 oblong round one of its sides which remains fixed. 
 The side of the oblong' which remains fixed is 
 called the axis of the cylinder. The side of the 
 oblong opposite to the fixed side or axis traces out 
 ...^ cylindrical afrface. The circles traced out by 
 the other sides of the oblong are called the lases 
 
 of the cylinder. 
 
 The figure AJBGD is a right cylinder, traced 
 out by the revolution of the oblong JiJi^^ about 
 the fixed side or axis BF. 
 ^ 229 In the Tables of Square and Oubio Measure we have seen 
 that length multiplied by length prt)duces area, and area mult^phed by 
 length produces capacity ; the units in the products in these cases 
 differing in kind from the units in the factors ; thus, a rectangular area, 
 whose adjacent sides are 4 and 3 feet respectively, is divisible into 
 (4x3) or 12 equal squares, as shewn by the accom- 
 panying figure, the length of a side of each square 
 being one linear foot. The rectangular area in 
 this case is said to be the product of the two ad- 
 jacent sides, represented respectively by numbers, 
 the units in the numerical product being no longer 
 linear feet, but square feet. Similariy, if the adjacent edges ot a rec- 
 tangular parallelepiped bo 3, 4, and 2 feet, respectively, the capaci y 
 of the solid is e<>uivalent to 24 cubes, each containing one cubic foot; 
 and thus the capacity of the parallelepiped is correctly expressed by 
 the product of the three acijaceut eages ieprcsoutc^ i^ri.~-----v -.- 
 numbers, the units in the numerical product being no longer hnear feet, 
 as in the factors, but cubic feet.
