Page 10 - Logic is a portion of the art of thinking; language is evidently, and by the admission of all philosophers, one of the principal instruments or helps of thought; and any imperfection in the instrument or in the mode of employing it is confessedly liable, still more than in almost any other art, to confuse and impede the process and destroy all ground of confidence in the result.
Page 200 - RULE. I. Separate the given number into periods of three figures each, beginning at the right hand ; the left hand period will often contain less than three places of figures.

Page 41 - Divide the coefficient of the dividend by the coefficient of the divisor.
Page 200 - The cube of a number is equal to the cube of the tens, plus three times the product of the square of the tens by the units, plus three times the product of the tens by the square of the units, plus the cube of the units.
