• imprint_number: 1808.047
• title: Arithmetic Improved, or, a summary system of common and decimal arithmetic intended for the American tutor's guide ... By William Ligon, Senr. Prince Edward, Virginia. 1808.
• sequence_number: 47
• year: 1808
• place_issued: Richmond
• issuing_press: Uncertain
• author: Ligon, William Sr. (1762-1838).
• notes: Prospectus for Ligon's Arithmetic Improved; or, A Summary System of Common and Decimal Arithmetic, Collaterally and Concisely Combined in Every Rule, with a solicitation for subscribers for its publication; that text was published in Richmond in 1810 (1810.027).
  One of two variants of Ligon's solicitation; the other (1808.046) has a slightly different text.
  Sheet lacks colophon; as Ligon entered a copy right for this work at the federal district court in Richmond in August 1808, and the actual textbook issued from a Richmond press, this title is presumed to have been printed there as well, though the issuing press remains uncertain.
