History United States, by C. A. Goodrich, 1823: “This fund, in May 1821, amounted to one million seven hundred thousand dollars—the yearly income of which, together with twelve thousand dollars of the public taxes, is annually devoted to the maintenance of common school masters in every town in the state. The amount paid to the towns from this fund, in 1818, was more than seventy thousand dollars—a greater sum by twenty-two thousand dollars than the whole state tax amounted to in the year preceding.”
