| Catalog Notes | An alphabet with a metrical psalm verse, a Bible verse, and an illustration for each letter. "This small book was prepared for the press, and presented to the publisher, by a lover of little children, with a view to help the rising generation; conceiving, as he expressed, that it is the little works that are calculated, by their general circulation, to be the more useful; while those that are larger, though very good, on account of their price, get into the hands of but few."--p. [4]. Variant issues noted; issue in hand bears an illustration on p. [30] depicting a zebu facing left. Another issue bears a similar illustration of a zebu facing right. Variant states noted; wood-engraved illustrations on wrapper differ. Text and illustrations otherwise identical. Samuel Wood & Sons published at 261 Pearl St., New York, from 1813 to 1835; Samuel S. Wood & Co. published at 212 Market St., Baltimore, from 1818 to 1824. Wood-engraved frontispiece signed "L"; wood-engraved illustration on title page signed "A" (i.e., Alexander Anderson). |
