PREFACE.

In this book we have followed the same plan as in our
Algebraical Exercises and Examination Papers: the con-
tents comprise eighty progressive miscellaneous Exercises,
followed by a collection of fifty Papers set at recent
Examinations, and an Appendix containing miscellaneous
examples in Logarithms and Mensuration.

The EXERCISES are arranged as follows:

Part I. includes Decimals, Practice, Simple Proportion,

and Simple Interest; Part II. takes in Compound Pro-

portion, Percentages, Averages, and Proportional Parts;

in Part III., Square Root, Areas, and Volumes are intro-

duced; Part IV. includes Discount and Compound In-

terest; Part V., Profit and Loss and Stocks; Part VI.,

Cube Root and Duodecimals.

The EXAMINATION PAPERS will be found to comprise

specimens of papers set at all the most important examina-
tions in which a knowledge of Arithmetic is required;
namely, The College of Preceptors, London University
Matriculation, Oxford Local, Cambridge Local, Oxford and
