48mo. 16pp. With the aid of various engravings - including a header printed upside-down - the publisher here purveys a cautionary tale of excess. Poem, "The Raven," drawn apparently from 1 Kings 17:4, included to fill out the final page. Bound in yellow printed wrappers with advertisement for the publisher's books on arithmetic at lower cover. Scant foxing, corners rubbed, else near fine. Scarce institutionally, with only two recorded holdings of this 1836 imprint.
