Cyphering book, 1795-1823 (bulk 1795-1798)

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/147439885

Consists of four separate elements: First is Samuel Bush's "Cyphering Book," evidently written between 11 September 1795 and 12 January 1796. This is made up of 23 pages of handwritten mathematical examples, axioms, rules, and problems. There was originally much more to this, as shown by the faint page numbers in the upper corners (e.g., our page 18 is original page 125). The other two thirds of the book may well be a continuation of the exercise book genre, being training in accounting practice.
