I’ve always enjoyed the old
fashion press sketches found in 19th century books, often text books.
These sketches, while simple, depict life in general and signs of the times
very differently than where we are at today, not to mention variation in
language and grammar.
PREFACE.
THE remarkable
and long continued popularity of Ray’s Arithmetics
has induced the publishers to present them to the public in a revised form, as Ray’s New Arithmetics.
The
objects of the revision have been:
(1.)
To present the books in improved type, with better arrangement, and in a more
pleasing outward dress.
(2.)
To introduce such new features as will adapt the series more perfectly to the
present methods of instruction.
The
friends of the series can best judge what success in attaining these objects
has been made.
The
publishers hereby express the gratitude to many prominent educators who have
contributed to this revision, and only regret that their number prevents the
mention of names.
CINCINNATI,
April, 1877.
