Minor Notes.
_Cocker's Arithmetic._--I have a copy of Cocker's _Arithmetic_, the 37th
edition, 1720, with an engraved portrait of the author; respecting which
there is the following manuscript note on the flyleaf:--
"Mr. Douce, of Bath, the literary antiquary and book-collector,
showed me a copy of Cocker's _Arithmetic_, with the _frontispiece
cut of the author_, which he said was very scarce.
"J. P., April, 1823."
Mr. Douce's copy (the first edition, 1678) is now in the possession of
Mr. Rainy, an upholsterer in Bath, and is for sale. He asks 8_l._ 10_s._
for it.
