520 This well-illustrated book provides strong qualitative and
comparative support for the main arguments developed by
Nerida Ellerton and Ken Clements in their groundbreaking
Rewriting this History of School Mathematics in North
America 1607-1861: The Central Role of Cyphering Books.
Eleven extraordinary handwritten school mathematics
manuscripts are carefully analyzed-six were prepared
entirely in Great Britain, four entirely in North America,
and one partly in Great Britain and partly in North
America. The earliest of the 11 cyphering books was
prepared around 1630, and the latest in 1835. Seven of the
manuscripts were arithmetic cyphering books; three were
navigation cyphering books, and one was a mensuration/
surveying manuscript. One of the cyphering books examined
in this book was prepared, over the period 1819-1826, by a
young Abraham Lincoln, when he was attending small one-
teacher schools in remote Spencer County, Indiana. Chapter
6 in this book provides the first detailed analysis of
young Abraham's cyphering book-which is easily the oldest
surviving Lincoln manuscript. Another cyphering book, this
one prepared by William Beattie in 1835, could have been
prepared as a special gift for the King of England. The
analyses make clear the extent of the control which the
cyphering tradition had over school mathematics in North
America and Great Britain between 1630 and 1840. In their
final chapter Ellerton and Clements identify six lessons
from their research into the cyphering tradition which
relate to present-day circumstances surrounding school
mathematics. These lessons are concerned with sharp
differences between intended, implemented and attained
curricula, the remarkable value that many students placed
upon their cyphering books, the ethnomathematical
circumstances which surrounded the preparations of the
extraordinary cyphering books, and qualitative differences
between British and North American school mathematics.
