EMERSON s ARITHMETIC. We have been par
tlcularly pleased in the examination of the first
part of new Arithmetic on the plan of Pesta-
lozzl, by Frederick Emerson, principal in the
department Of writing and arithmetic in the
Boylston School, Boston. It is calculated to fix
practical knowledge of the elementary rules
OF arithmetic, in the minds of children. at
very early age. The questions are of charac-
ter to excite the curiosity of the young pupil,
and are illustrated with neat cuts, calculated
to attract their attention, by which means, in !
siructon is so agreeably combined with amuse-
ment, that it becomes a recreation, rather than
a task We have seen no book, of late, on the
subject of instruction, which we can more
cheerluliy and more heartily recommend to
cur readers than this.
