notes: label: Description
content: This copy is from the fourth printing of this book. This book is notable for its fancy typography and Olney's description of the material as "literal arithmetic" designed to train the reasoning faculties. The content appears to be fairly standard of 19th-century algebra textbooks. There are copious word problems for the expected audience of young readers. There is a label for Charles P. Skinner's dry goods store in Manteno, Illinois, pasted inside the front cover. Beyond rare stray pencil marks, the copy is clean.
