Esop and Arithmetick in Early New World Advertisements
A long compiled catalog of eighteenth century publications and products appears. It lists Esop’s Fables with Morals and Reflections, Jordan’s Duodecimal Arithmetick, a treatise on extraction of roots, and various manuals on measurement, singing, and religious devotion. The items are described with printers, editions, prices, and places such as Lombard Street and Highgate, with notices of new volumes, sermons, and instructional guides. The entry also mentions equipment and housing ads, including a brick house with gardens and stables at Highgate.
