Notes: The copy in hand, held by the American Antiquarian Society copy, lacks title page. The pagination and a ms. inscription dated "Decr. 1823" suggest that this is one (and probably the last) of the annual issues of the "stereotype edition" of The scholar's arithmetic by Daniel Adams issued by John Prentiss at Keene between 1819 (the first to number the appendix p. [217]-224) and 1823.

According to the copyright statement found on verso of title page in issues of the stereotype edition, the work was deposited for copyright by Daniel Adams " ... on the seventeenth day of July, in the thirty ninth year of the independence of the United States ..." This would be July 17, 1814, but a copyright date of July 17, 1815, may be more probable. The Preface, p. [iii]-iv, is dated: Mont-Vernon, (N.H.) December 26th, 1815.
