This book went through a second edition in 1828 and a third in 1836, and other reprints followed. The first, however, is rare. OCLC notes copies at the British Library, National Library of Scotland, the Newberry Library and Princeton only. Octavo, in fours. ix, [1], 104 pp. Folding timetable before the first leaf of text. Musical notation in text. Buff colored printed wrappers, worn and chipped at edges. Front joint cracked, with front wrapper and first two gatherings hanging by threads. Ink inscription on title-page: "Charlotte Eliza Barrett. Worthing. Octr. 1828." First edition.

Store description
Our office is located in Los Angeles on West Third Street, between the Beverly Center and Farmer's Market. Though we gave up an open shop after more than thirty years, we welcome serious customers and dealers. We are normally open from 10 to 6 Monday through Saturday. Since some of our less expensive books are located in a temperature-controlled storage area offsite, you may want to call ahead of time to insure that the book you want to see will be available. We feature a stock strong in literature, history, Western philosophy, history of science, history of computers, and art. We are members of the Antiquarian Booksellers Association of America and the International League of Antiquarian Booksellers. We have books from the 15th to the 20th century in all prices ranges. We do appraisals for income tax and insurance purposes. We purchase individual books and libraries. Proprietors: Michael R. Thompson, Kathleen D. Thompson, Carol Sandberg…
