This request is rather a long shot, but you never know ...
It concerns a school textbook, "A General Arithmetic for Schools" by
Clement V. Durell, published, I believe, in 1951. Unfortunately I am unable
to trace a copy in any Cambridge library. I have copies of some other
Durell textbooks, but not this one.
I recollect that an early section of the book was (is) on divisibility
tests (by 3, 9, 11 etc as usual). Is anybody in a position to be able to
confirm this?
Fingers crossed.
