13 cm; 160 pages, engraved frontispiece of children studying a globe under parental supervision. Bound in original red cloth, stamped in blind on both boards with gilt vignette of two children on upper board. Edges gilt. Condition: a bit worn yet sound and entire. Some fraying at spine ends. Owner's inscription on front endleaf. Plate somewhat soiled in margins. Anthology of verse intended to build moral character, such as Isaac Watts's severe "Duty to God and our Neighbors" and "The Advantages of Early Religion," beloved by children everywhere. Yet some liberality slips ithrough, such as Spenser's carpe diem, "gather the rose of love, whilst yet is time, While loving thou may'st loved be, without a crime.".
