IN the perusal of the treatise comprised in the following pages, the only thing required of the student is a competent knowledge of the principles and practice of Arithmetic and upon these, as a groundwork, he will find himself conducted by gradual and easy steps to all the more elementary results of Algebra, considered in the light of Universal Arithmetic, as well as to the more general formulæ of Symbolical Algebra, regarded as the basis of Analytical Investigations. The precise point at which Arithmetical Algebra terminates and Symbolical Algebra commences is not very easily described by any simple definition; but in the course of the work many opportunities have been taken to direct the student's attention to the distinction between them: and he will scarcely fail to recognize the essential differences in the characters of the two, by noticing the interpretations of various results which Arithmetic could not contemplate. Many alterations and additions have been made in the present edition, and the entire substance contained in it is briefly enumerated in the table of contents. The first Appendix comprises a variety of Theorems and Problems with their Solutions, some of which were found in the text of the preceding editions; and the second Appendix is a collection of Examples for Practice, to all of which the Answers or Results have been annexed.
