What reading level is A Scrap book of Elementary Mathematics Notes Recreations Essays book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
the pioneers of arithmetic had been like the Gath giant of 2 Sam. 21 : 20, with six ringers on each hand, they would doubtless have used 12 as a radix. Lack- ing such counsel, and being equipped by nature with only 10 fingers to use as counters, they started arith- metic on a decimal basis. History since has been a steady progress in the direction thus chosen (except in details like the table of time, where the incommen- surable ratio between the units fixed by nature defied even the French Rev...olution).
The Arabic notation "was brought to perfection in the fifth or sixth century, "* but did not become com- mon in Europe till the sixteenth century. It . Is not quite universal yet, the Roman numerals being still used on the dials of timepieces, in the titles of sov- ereigns, the numbers of book chapters and subdivi- sions, and, in general, where an archaic effect is sought. But the Arabic numerals are so much more convenient that they are superseding the Roman in these places. The change has been noticeable even in the last ten or fifteen years.
