Reviews "[David Eugene Smith's bibliography of early arithmetic books] is a condensed history of arithmetic during its formative period. The numerous notes not only point out the significant features ... but they form a comparative study of the subject from many points of view ... [Smith's] special fitness is known to practically every student of the history of mathematics and his scholarship stamps with authority all of his productions." -- Bulletin of the AMS Table of Contents Rara Arithmetica - Printed Books
