HANDWRITTEN MATH CYPHER SAMUEL JONES, WARREN COUNTY NJ 1834-1840

Item #754

8.5" x 13" paper bound book with over 100 pages, entirely filled with math notes by Samuel Jones, from 1834-1840. An added note in the front of the book reads: "Samuel Jones (my great grandfather) - Mathematics work book - July 1, 1834 to March 6, 1840, age 11 years to 17 years. note: He wrote the name "Mary Prall" on the side of the page dated Oct. 12, 1834. He was then 11 1/2 years old, she 5 years, 8 months. They were married Jan. 15, 1851."

I don't see a place mentioned in the book, but a search of their names bring up that they are buried in Hazen Cemetery in Warren County, New Jersey.

Sections include: Subtraction & Division, Simple Reduction, Compound Addition, Compound Subtraction, Double Rule of Three, etc. A few of the pages are loose, the spine is very worn and there is some damp staining to some pages.
