Samuel Johnson's Dictionary
ARITHMETICKnoun
The science of numbers; the art of computation.
Etymology: ἀϱιϑμος, number, and μετϱέω, to measure.
We have very little intelligence about the origin and invention of arithmetick; but probably it must have taken its rise from the introduction of commerce, and consequently be of Tyrian invention. From Asia it passed into Egypt, where it was greatly cultivated. From thence it was transmitted to the Greeks, who conveyed it to the Romans with additional improvements. But, from some treatises of the ancients remaining on this subject, it appears that their arithmetick was much inferiour to that of the moderns. Ephraim Chambers.
On fair ground I could beat forty of them;
But now ’tis odds beyond arithmetick. William Shakespeare, Coriolanus.The christian religion, according to the Apostle’s arithmetick, hath but these three parts of it; sobriety, justice, religion. Taylor.
