The author has prepared this little book both in compliance with the solicitation of Teachers and others interested in his larger work, and with the desire to present the first principles of the science in a form to interest the youngest members of our Primary Schools. Definitions and extended explanations, being generally unintelligible, and therefore uninteresting and unprofitable, to young children, have been carefully avoided, and the simplest operations in numbers have been presented in the most familiar manner, separately or in combination, as seemed most likely to interest and benefit the pupil. No effort has been spared to make the book simple in language, varied in expression, progressive in style, and attractive in illustration; and thus, it is hoped, the little learner will form accurate habits, and unconsciously become familiar with such simple calculations as shall prepare him to enter with pleasure upon the more vigorous thinking required in the Author's Intellectual Arithmetic. In the preparation of these Lessons, the author has received valuable aid from Teachers, eminent in their profession, and familiar with the best modes of instruction in Primary Schools. -Phillips Academy, Andover, June 9, 1860
