Abstract
One day early in 1810 Benjamin Harris went to Stewart's Store in Menallen Township, Adams County, Pennsylvania, to buy himself a blank book for the study of arithmetic. The book, extant and in the possession of the writer's family, is composed of twenty-five sheets of plain white paper, thirteen by eight inches, bound between two pieces of heavy wrapping paper. The binding is merely a strong thread whipped around and around the one edge.
