Excerpt from A Key to Day's Algebra: Containing a Correct Exposition of All the Problems and Examples Wna-rnvnn the public wishes for, the public will have, be the object of that desire rational or irrational, proper or improper. There are men enough, possessed of talent, though not principle, who will pander to such tastes. The author of the following work would very respectfully beg to be exempted from all connection or assimilation with that class. But he will not disguise this treatise under the title of Key for Instructors, Aid to Teachers, &c. The originators of such works know that no individual is fit for the situation of teacher, who is obliged to resort to them; and that their circula tion is intended, in a great measure, if not wholly, for pupils. But such titles make books popular, make them sell, and therefore they use them, though they laugh in secret at the gullibility of the public. We again declare that we will resort to no such deceit. We believe our object to be a good one. If it is good, we should not be afraid to avow it; and if it is bad, the public should be the first to know it. We freely say that this work is intended for scholars - to render some little assistance to that class of persons (not few in number) in our colleges and public institutes, who are distinguished for attainments in belles-lettres and classics, but with no sort of ability or inclination to pursue mathematics.
