The Young Mathematician's Guide
From Wythepedia: The George Wythe Encyclopedia
by John Ward
Ward delivers a basic text book in plain language, beginning with the foundations or first principles of a fundamental science for the use and benefit of such as are wholly Ignorant on the very first Rudiments of Mathematicks? The book concludes with a tribute in verse to Ward by Samuel Cunn, Teacher of the Mathematicks, and three pages of advertisements for Horne and Bettesworth publications.
