copy of his work think they have
treasure, indeed. The Star represent.

reviewing text book in mathematics
published seyenty-three years before
the famous Daboll was born. This
book is undoubtedly one of the Oldest
owned in Otsego County, and is con.
sidered a great curiosity by all who
have seen it. It is the work of Ed
ward Cocker, printed Nov. 27, 1877,
by John Collins, two years after the
authors death, The work Is famous,
since 1t was-f for years considered
forgery Of Collins, and in its day
caused much discussion in the col.
leges of England. Collins, who was
an actor and poet and an intimate
friend of Edward Cocker, dispelled the
accusations against him by proving
the manuscript for the book to have
been Cookers. The latter was one of
the most famous authorities on arith.
metic Of his day, and published many
books. The work. copy of which
has recently been brought to light
here, was his last manuscript.
The book is nearly complete and
in good condition. 1t is interesting
from a typographical point Of view,
and the subject matter is most pecu.

books.
The fact that the multiplication
table appears in the book gives some
