Abstract

These two mathematics and penmanship journals were created by students who were learning mathematic principles and practicing penmanship. The first journal does not have an identified creator, but may have been from Pennsylvania; the writing in this journal dates between 1823 and 1832. The second journal was created by Daniel Moore and dates between 1829 and 1835. Both of these journals demonstrate the style of penmanship being taught, the level of mathematics children were expected to understand, and the variety of examples used throughout classes that reflect world affairs.
