Perusing old books at eBay I found the following old book. I know it isn't a numismatic book but it contains a 1795 eagle gold coin including other British coins.

THE AMERICAN ACCOMPTANT BEING A PLAIN PRACTICAL AND SYSTEMATIC COMPENDIUM OF FEDERAL ARITHMETIC IN THREE PARTS DESIGNED FOR THE USE OF SCHOOLS AND SPECIALLY CALCULATED FOR THE COMMERCIAL MERIDIAN OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA BY CHAUNCEY LEE LANSINGBURGH PRINTED BY WILLIAM W WANDS MDCCXCVII ( 1797 )

HERE IS A VERY RARE BOOK - IT IS THE FIRST TIME EVER THAT THE UNITED STATES DOLLAR SIGN $$$ WAS EVER USED IN PRINT

FANTASTIC ENGRAVING FRONTISPIECE WITH THE 1795 LIBERTY DOLLAR AMONG OTHER COINS OF THE TIME SIGNED OWNERSHIP TO ISAAC SPAULDING HIS BOOK BOUGHT IN NORFOLK FEBRUARY 15TH 1800

Lee's symbol for the dollar was called to the attention of the numismatic public in The Numismatist for September 1899 and was generally accepted as the first printed use of the conventional dollar sign until 1925 when Professor Florian Cajori challenged it.

An examination of Lee's , particularly his dollar symbol, shows that they were original with him and that he was not familiar with the existing conventional $ sign...

Granted he was the first to develop a symbol for the dollar in type form rather than spelling out "dollar" or employing an abbreviation, but it appears to be an isolated concept, unrelated to the prior handwritten $ sign.

I was fortunate several years ago to pick up a pristine copy of Chauncey Lee's "American Accomptant", which I have enjoyed very much. It looks like this one is a pretty nice copy as well. Definitely worth having in a bibliophile's library!
