Philadelphia Pensylvania 1828. 1/4 leather. Very good. This ciphering book measures 8" x 12.5". It contains 92 pages of ciphering work. There is also an additional 36 pages of text in a different hand perhaps by a sister copied from Timothy Shay Arthur's <i>Advice to Young Ladies</i> and the American Tract Society's <i>Helps for Every Hour</i>. Quarter-bound with marbled boards. Owner's label reads "Abraham Rex / Philadelphia / 1828." An 8.5" x 4" pencil drawing copied from <i>The Tours of Dr. Syntax</i> is laid in. <br /><br />Ciphering books were prepared as part of the basic mathematical training of relatively well-off American students usually boys. Most like this one contain examples of the Numeration Addition Subtraction Compound Multiplication Reduction Compound Reduction Rule of Three Indirect Proportion Vulgar Fractions Compound Proportions The Double Rule of Three Avoirdupois Weight Troy Weight Long and Land Measure etc. <br /><br />In addition to providing mathematical basics boys venturing into trades or businesses needed advanced or specialized training in mathematics. In this case Abraham's book includes some work that would prepare him for mercantile positions including Tare and Tret calculating weight adjustments for packing and shipping materials Insurance Commissions and Brokerage Compound Interest Rebate or Discount Equation calculating combined payments Barter Loss and Gain Fellowship calculating complicated partnership percentages etc. <br /><br />Abraham was a member of a prominent and prosperous Pennsylvania Dutch family. Online genealogical records show that the Rüx anglicized to Rex family immigrated to the United States sometime prior to 1720 and settled in Germantown north of Pennsylvania. The family soon moved westward to Schaefferston in Lancaster County where it proliferated and prospered with members becoming merchants innkeepers informal bankers brokers pharmacists and physicians. <br /><br />For more information about the Rexes of Schaefferstown see Wenger's <i>Delivering the Goods: The Country Storekeeper and Inland Commerce in the Md-Atlantic</i>. An archive of Rex family business papers is held by the Winterthur Library. <br /><br />For more information about ciphering books see Kilpatrick's <i>Rewriting the History of School Mathematics in North Amrerica . . . The Central Role of the Cyphering Books</i> Doer's master's thesis: <i>Cipher Books in the Southern Historical Collection of the University of North Carolina</i> and .Anderies's "Learning Mathematics in North America" at the University of Pennyslvania's Kaplan Collection of Early American Judaica. <br /><br />18th-century American ciphering books are scarce as the overwhelming majority of extant examples date from the early 1800s into the mid-1850s.<br /><br /> hardcover
