| Catalog Notes | "In January, 1829, the author of this primer published two class-books, the one entitled 'The symbolical primer,' the other, 'The speller and definer.' The two together were designed to supercede [sic] the necessity of using a spelling book and a dictionary as a class-book. ... The favourable reception which they have met with, has induced the author to revise and enlarge his primer; and, in order to render it altogether worthy of patronage, he has gone to the expense of getting every cut re-engraved. 'The symbolical primer,' in its present form, consists of two parts. The first is composed of 36 pages, and contains 492 cuts, the second of 72 pages, and contains the same cuts, with explanations."--preface, p. [3-4], dated at New York, May 10, 1830.

Illustration on title page and wrapper is signed "Burton del. Mason sc." (i.e., Charles Burton and Abraham John Mason?). Includes publisher's advertisement, p. [4] of wrapper. |
