Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. 1st Edition. First Edition from Geo. A. Leavitt (NAP). Other publishers put out the book in 1845 and 1846. There are only a few copies out there for sale. Once listed, this will be the Only one published by Geo. A. Leavit. The book will not take up too much space ( 4 1/4" by 3" ). The covers appear to be original. All three page edges are gilt. The edges and corners of the covers are in very good condition. There are a few light spots of soiling on the rear cover. The issue with the spine is the rubbing. It has mostly removed the gilt lettering (I've priced the book much lower due to this rubbing). There is slight wear at the spine ends, a little bending at the top one and a teeny tiny bit of loss at the bottom one. The book is square and very solidly bound from cover to cover with nicely tight pages throughout and nicely tight covers as well. The pages are in very good condition. They have only a very light amount of soiling or spotting. The first blank end paper has a crease off its top corner and the second one has some darkening at its top corner that traces the crease in front of it. There isn't any significant creasing on the text pages, just a very occasional tiny tip of the corner crease. There are no markings. No attachments. And no one has written their name or anything else anywhere in the book.

Octavo hardcover (VG-); all our specials have minimal description to keep listing them viable. They are at least reading copies, complete and in reasonable condition, but usually secondhand; frequently they are superior examples. Ordering more than one book will reduce your overall postage cost.

This reader, published after World War I, begins with a poem, "The American Boy." It is a dialogue between a father and son about patriotism. According to the author of this reader, the influence of the story "The Poor Little Match Girl" "founded many an orphan home and organized hundreds of societies for relief of the worthy poor," which indicates an emphasis on philanthropy and social work during the era of the Social Gospel.80% of selections taught traditional values."-- Sharon Vincz Andrews ; signature of a youthful Gerald Grout, later a Kansas Ophthalmologist ; GOOD.
