Unlike most <strong>of</strong> Barreme’s publications, this one volume<br />
contains only a few tables. As the title indicates, this<br />
work concentrates on teaching the basics <strong>of</strong> arithmetic<br />
with examples <strong>of</strong> all four operations. The tables included<br />
are intended to aid in the basic instruction, but there are<br />
also a few dealing with currency conversions.<br />
