The Rule of Life. A collection of select moral sentences, extracted from the greatest authors, ancient and modern, and digested under proper heads. Carefully corrected and revised,

a bit browned in places, copious marginal lines in blue crayon, others in red, and some pencil, none of which obscure the text, pp. [vi, including the 2-pp. Contents, called for at the end], 258, 12mo, slightly later half green roan and marbled boards, flat spine tooled gilt; rubbed at extremities, with small sections of the spine at either end reattached, good. A provincially-printed compendium of moral precepts for children, enthusiastically underlined (and absorbed?) by an early reader. (ESTC T94052).
