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.
