32mo. (68)pp. The volume begins, as many primers of its ilk do, with the alphabet in various cases and formats, then proceeds to emblematic woodcut images, and build upon syllables to eventually arrive at a short story of moderate complexity. Of particular fascination is this primer's conclusion, where it educates the reader in Black Letter. Bound in printed papers over boards with oddly fitting cloth spine. Generally rubbed and modestly soiled, lacking free endpapers, but internally remarkably bright. An impressive survival of a genre normally subject to heavy handling, this especially scarce with only two copies of this imprint recorded in OCLC.
