General note"It is fourteen years since the first edition of the Scholar's arithmetic was offered to the public. It has now gone through nine editions, and more than forty thousand copies have been circulated. ... In has now undergone a careful revisal. ... But what more particularly claims attention in this revised edition, is the introduction of the rules of exchange, where the pupil is made acquainted with the different currencies of the several states ... and how to change these currencies from one to another; also, to Federal money ..."--Preface, p. [iii]-iv. Signed: Daniel Adams. Mont-Vernon, (N.H.) December 26th, 1815.
General noteAccording to the copyright statement on verso of title page, the work was deposited for copyright by Daniel Adams "... on the seventeenth day of July, in the thirty ninth year of the independence of the United States ..." This would be July 17, 1814, but based on the preface date, a copyright date of July 17, 1815, may be more probable.
