LAMBORN E A GREENING  Reason in Arithmetic
Oxford at the Clarendon Press, U.K. 1930. First Edition, Hard Cover. Near Very Good/No Jacket. 139 pages. ' In an article on the Metric System, in Chambers Encyclopaedia, it is claimed that by the introduction of that system 'one-half the time now spent in learning arithmetic might be saved. That study might, in addition, be made an intellectual discipline; whereas at present the time must be spent in acquiring something like a ready but blind application of complicated rules'. 'Is' being substituted for 'must be' in the last sentence, the quotation may serve very well to represent the point of view from which this book is written. But the reform needed is in our methods of teaching rather than in our weights and measures. I believe that, apart from this drastic and dubious change, half the time should and can be saved; that the other half should be spent in acquiring, not a blind facility, but the mental discipline resulting from the application of the reasoning powers to questions of number; and that an incidental result of such discipline will be a practical efficiency far beyond the scope of any blind application of rules learned by rote. This book is an account of methods devised and practised in accordance with that belief '. E.A.G.L. Littlemore, St Swithin's Day, 1930. Chapter Headings : Values in Arithmetic, Notation, The Five Processes, The Principle of Cancelling, The Principle of Practice, Stating the Question, Generalizing the Problem, Proportion Interest and Stocks as Cases of the Five Processes, Long Division, Factors in Cancelling, Necessary Apparatus, Selected Examples. Book - in Near Very Good brown boards - slight marking to the boards, slight bumping to the corners and some bumping and wearing to the end of the spine with a small pin hole above the H in the word arithmetic on the spine. Contents, slight marking to the front pastedown and a previous owner's notes to the rear pastedown, otherwise Very Good, clean, bright and tightly bound. Shipped Weight: 750gms-1kgm.

LEWIS J D AND PLAISTOWE [COMPILED BY]  Pages for Patrol Leaders
Girl Guides Association, U.K. 1932. Second Impression, Paper Covers. Very Good/No Jacket. 82 pages in paper covers. 'What a lot more there is in running a patrol than collecting pennies at the meetings and coaching occasional recruits for their tests, isn't there ? A well run patrol will be so organised that there will never be a dull moment. The Leader will sense the feeling of the patrol and propound some new and exciting scheme just when the interest in a former one is on the wane. It may be a scheme for a series of outdoor activities : it may be the introduction of a patrol notice-board: it may be the uniting of the patrol in an effort to specialise for a badge proudly to be sewn on to the flag. In all these things it is the Leader who " leads." She can carry the patrol up to giddy heights on the wave of her own enthusiasm. But we all, at some time, get "stuck" for ideas, and it is to help new Leaders who are wondering what activities their patrols can take part in, and to assist old Leaders in their search for a remedy to the "sameness" of theirs that-at the suggestion of many readers-we have compiled this book from articles we have written in The Guide.' Book - Very Good - slight fading to the spine and edges, slight marking to the page edges, and faint spotting to the title page. Shipped Weight: 750gms-1kgm. Category: Reference Inventory No: 000024.

MERCER GEORGE [GENERAL EDITOR]  Auctioneers' Manual
Estates Gazette and Sweet and Maxwell, U.K. 1961. Eleventh Edition, Hard Cover. Fine/Very Good. 323 pages with an index. '"This edition of the Manual appears in a new form, to fulfil a demand amongst auctioneers for a volume of convenient size and bulk, which can be used both as a text-book and as a work of reference. The Manual, also, is now the work of a team. The profession of auctioneering has become, over the years, an avocation demanding what may well be described as specialised knowledge of a number of topics. With such considerations in mind, this work has been divided into parts, written by persons familiar with the particular topics discussed in those parts, so as to cater to the specialised requirements of auctioneers. It is hoped that "The Manual" will develop a new usefulness in the service of auctioneers and auctioneers-to-be, as they perfect their knowledge, and deal with the various problems which arise in the course of their activities." Book - Fine - in purple boards with gilt lettering, previous owner's name to front free endpaper. Dust Jacket - Very Good - small closed tears to edges repaired to verso, previous owner's name to front of jacket. Shipped Weight: 750gms-1kgm. Category: Reference Inventory No: 99911529.
