INSTRUCTIVE STORIES; CONSISTING OF TOM RESTLESS AND THE HISTORY OF THEODORE
Published by J. Harris, London, 1802
Seller: Type Punch Matrix, Silver Spring, MD, U.S.A.
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
First Edition
Condition: Very good. First edition of this miniature volume of two moralistic stories, part of the CABINET OF LILLIPUT series published by Newbery's successor. This title is one of twelve in J. Harris' CABINET OF LILLIPUT series. Bondy notes the little stories were for older children, and "combine instruction with delight." The two stories contained here concern a sailor whose restless nature takes him on adventures around the world, though he ends up a prisoner in the Bastille; and of a boy who is sold into slavery in the "American Colonies" by an unscrupulous sea captain. A lovely survival with its original boards. 2.75'' x 2.5''. Original yellow boards, paper printed label on front board, rebacked in green leather gilt. Renewed marbled endpapers. Black-and-white illustrated frontispiece. 94 pages. Owner name in ink to first blank. Very mild edgewear and light soiling to boards. Occasional mild soiling to leaves.
