COLONIAL CIPHERING BOOK CATHERINE D. McCREA LATE 1700'S-EARLY 1800'S - $399 - (Hornell, NY)

PLEASE SCROLL DOWN FOR MORE PHOTOS. BOUND IN PAPER AND CLOTH, "MISS CATHARINE D. McCREA--HER CIPHERING BOOK--COMMENCED JUNE 10TH 1812" ALTHOUGH WE DID SEE SOME PAGES DATED 1797. COVER IS VERY WORN WITH SOME TEARS, BUT INSIDE PAGES HAVE HELD UP WELL. ALL PAGES RELATE TO MATHEMATICS, WITH PROBLEMS SOLVED, TABLES OF MEASURE, ADDITION OF MONEY, WEIGHTS AND MEASURES, CURRENCIES, ETC. THESE CIPHERING BOOKS WERE COPIED FROM A TEACHER'S BOOK AND BECAME THE STUDENT'S TEXTBOOK, BESIDES SERVING AS A REFERENCE LATER IN LIFE. UNFORTUNATELY WE DON'T KNOW THE PROVENANCE OF THE BOOK. PH922 WILL BE SHIPPED PRIORITY REGISTERED, NO INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING.
