About This Item
New York: Printed by John Buel, 1793.. xvi,[6],192pp. plus folding table. 12mo. Contemporary unlettered calf. Portrait laid down on front pastedown, wanting terminal blank S6, some tanning and foxing to preliminary and terminal leaves, still a very good or somewhat better copy. Denoted "The Latest Edition," but one of several 18th century printings in North America of this standard work by the cleric and educator. While the well-known frontis is neatly affixed to the pastedown, it is thus preserved, and the folding table "of Converging Series" is intact and unsullied. Two prefatory poems, "To Mr. Thomas Dilworth, on his Compendium of Arithmetic, Intitled The Schoolmaster's Assistant" by Moses Brown, and "To Mr. Thomas Dilworth, on his Schoolmaster's Assistant," by William Deane, are printed in the front matter. ESTC locates 10 copies of this printing. EVANS 25400. ESTC W2932.
