The Ground of Arts

Robert Recorde's Arithmetic: or, The Ground of Arts was one of the first printed English textbooks on arithmetic and the most popular of its time.

The Ground of Arts appeared in London in 1543,[1] and it was reprinted around 45 more editions until 1700.

[1] Editors and contributors of new sections included John Dee, John Mellis, Robert Hartwell, Thomas Willsford, and finally Edward Hatton.

The text is in the format of a dialogue between master and student to facilitate learning arithmetic without a teacher.
