144pp. With a half-title. Original publisher's red roan-backed marbled boards, ruled and lettered in gilt. Extremities rubbed and marked, some surface loss to lower board. Without free-endpapers, occasional spotting. The first issue of an abridged edition of French polymath Pierre Nicolas Lenglet Du Fresnoy's (1674-1755) GÃ ographie des enfans (1736). An initial publisher's advertisement states: 'The following pages are translated from the French, and as they are simple in the style, and seem well calculated to form an Introduction to larger works, the Publisher is induced to think, that such a little Publication is likely to be patronized by schools and private families'. COPAC records copies at locations (BL, Liverpool, and V&A); OCLC adds two further (Newberry and NYPL). Moon 479. Size: 12mo.
