To add decimals wherein
are single reptends—

Make every line end at
the same place filling up
the vacancies by the repeating
digits and annexing
a cypher or cyphers
to the finite terms then
add as before only increase
the sum of the right hand
row with as many units
as it contains nines &
the figure in the Sum
under that place will be
a repetend —

To subtract finite decimals.

Having first set down the
greater the two numbers
given whether it be a whole
number mixed number or
decimal set down the less
under it according to the
directions given in addition
then subtract as in whole
numbers imagining all
the vacant places filled
with cyphers —

To subtract decimals that
have repetends —

Make the repetends similar
and conterminous &
subtract as in the last
case observing only if the
repetend of the number to
be subtracted be greater
than the repetend of the
number it is to be taken
from then the right hand
figure of the remainder
must be less by unity
than it would be if the
expressions were finite &
the repetend in the remainder
will consist of as many
places as there are in
the other two numbers.

When both factors are finite decimals whether they are single or joined with integer, Multiply then as if they were all whole numbers and from the product towards the right hand cut off so many places for decimal parts in the product as there were in both the multiplier & multiplicand counted together but if it so happen that there are not so many places in the product supply the defect by prefixing cyphers — Two decimal fractions being given to reserve in their product any assigned umber of places — Sets the Units place of the multiplier directly under that figure of the decimal part of the multiplicand whose place you would reserve inn the product and invert the order of all its other places that is the write the decimals on the left hand and the integer if any on the right — Then in multiplying always begin at that figure of the multiplicand which stands over the figure wherewith you are then multiplying setting down the first figure of each particular product directly underneath one another due regard being had to the increase which
