The Rational Method in Reading: Third reader (Fourth Half-Year's Work)

This book is bound in light brown boards with darker brown cover lettering and with the design of two trees around the title; there is no title to the spine. The cover is lightly soiled, the corners and ends of the spine are bumped and shelf worn, the pages have come away from the spine, but are still holding together well. The end papers are lightly age yellowed and have the stamps from the "Town of Rockport", there is a piece of linen tape affixed to the bindings, front and back. The third free page has a little girls name in pencil and a water stain (which goes to pg.19) on the very edge and does not harm the lessons; the interior finger smudges and is age yellowed. The colored frontispiece is of a little girl in a pasture. There are many colored and black and white pictures throughout this book. The last free page has scribbles and some words in pencil. 174pp. including the index.
