These two volumes are the daybook and ledger for Cotton's modest publishing and bookselling business. They contain records for the period from January 1, 1852 to March 19, 1860. Early entries show expenses and income associated with the financially troubled Common School Journal. Many of the later entries are for sales of James Whitman Greene's ( - ) School Melodies (1852) and Elisha Hurlbut Bascom (1812-1861) and Cotton's School Harp, (1855), both published by Cotton. There are also numerous sales of works by Fowle, including The Hundred Dialogues (1854) and Parlor Dramas (1857).
