'Practical System of Arithmetic, Schoolmaster's Assistant,' by Nathan Daboll & pub. by Russell Hubbard, Norwich, CT. The leather boards are mottled & resemble burled walnut. The spine's intact & is firmly attached to both leather sideboards. The edges of the spine show some scuffing & wear from previous use.
