Hardcover. Etat : Poor. No Jacket. Condition: Poor. But this 140-year-old children's first reader is so rare and interesting that I believe it should be listed and made available. The text pages are not torn or marked up (except page 36 with a penciled-in sentence), but all are soiled and spotted. The signatures are pulling away… from the binding, but all pages are present (the final page - 48 - says The End). The cover is badly soiled, which shows this primer got used a lot, but the green spine is intact. 8" x 6", 48 pages, 7 ounces. Both pastedowns have penciled numbers. There is an inscription on the first free endpaper: Frank Hannum, Danville, Illinois, December 25th 1879. This suggests it was a Christmas gift. Ancestry-dot-com shows a Frank Hannum in Danville in 1880 with a birthdate of about 1875, which would have made the recipient of this gift book four-years-old. His father was a grocery clerk. On that same genealogical website Frank Hannum is listed as a newsboy in 1889. Danville had a population of 7,733 in 1880 and 11,491 in 1890. It was a major coal-mining town featuring some of the earliest open pits. XX Primers introduced children to the alphabet and then used simple stories with similar words to teach reading (with parents', siblings', and/or teachers' help). What makes this 1877 primer delightful are the illustrations for each letter of the alphabet and for the stories, which always feature children and often an animal they would be familiar with (dogs are the most frequent, followed by horses, cats, cows, oxen, and birds. Hens, bears, donkeys, roosters, and squirrels only appear once. Besides using primarily 1-syllable words, the little stories accompanied by illustrations often provide some grammatical rules as well as guidance to good behavior. One of the strangest is: Do not hit the boy, bad man. If you do, you will go off in a van. Do not go to him, boy, he will hit you in the eye. Other stories follow traditional Victorian sentimentalism: Poor little Nora has no one to love her; she has to work hard every day, and does not get much to eat. Is it not sad? You must all be kind to the poor, for they have a hard life, and do not have the nice toys and food that you have. Will you try not to forget this. Lauderbach, Mesnet, et al. (illustrateur).

Hardcover. Etat : Good. No Jacket. 1st Edition. Playtime Primer was edited by Uncle Herbert. The book was published by Donohue, Henneberry & Co. in 1894 and appears to be a First Edition though it's not specifically stated as such. It's NOT an ex-library copy but is only in good condition with wear, a spine that I have glued to…help shore it up, yellowing pages, and some minor soiling to the bottom of the title page. The book begins with an alphabet section for the first 10 pages, then has some short "essays", poems, and short stories all in nice bold bigger print. The book is 7 3/8" by 9 3/8" and has about 40 pages with black-and-white illustrations throughout. Thank you.

Ruth & Co, Philadelphia and Chicago, 1887. 8vo up to 9½" tall. 416 pages. Brown cloth boards, black front titles, gilt spine titles; scrolled wrap…around borders. Brown decorative endpapers. Rubbing to board edges and light scuffing to boards; text block is in fine condition without marks, tears or folds, very light toning. ".Nothing that could in the slightest degree prove objectionable has been admitted. All the pieces are pure in language, lofty in sentiment, pithy, bright, sparkling. None dull or prosy. Beginning with the short simple pieces for the "little prattlers", the book gradually runs into those for older children, thus about one-third of the Speaker is given to pieces suitable for children under eight years of age, one-third for children from eight to twelve years old, and the remainder for older ones." This was especially designed for school or parlor recitations and also for fireside amusement. Many of these selections were also chosen with use in autograph albums under the headings: Dedicatory, Sentiment, Love, Humorous, Remembrance, and Miscellaneous. Some of the selections for the recitations and readings are: Beauty Everywhere, Bright Little Dandelion, Flea Powder, Burial of Sir John Moore, Be Pleasant, Good Night, I'm Very Young, It's Not Worthwhile to Hate, Little Brown Bushy-Tail, Katydid, Lake of the Dismal Swamp, The Counter Sign, Make Your Mark, Miss Tidy, Mr. Socrates Snooks, Mamma's Boy, Popping Corn, Presentation Speech, Marco Bozzaris, Sally in Our Alley, The Little Dreamer, Song of the Camp, The Violet, The Oyster Man, The Love of Country, The Lost Doll, A Visit From Saint Nicholas, The Modern Belle, What a Leaf Said, Useful Little Words.

Hardcover. Etat : Very Good. First Edition. 111 pages; Former owner's name on endpaper -- "Mary W. Ball / from Anna Haines / on her 7th birthday", otherwise clean and secure in original pictorial boards; wear at corners and spine ends, rubbed at edge; quite a nice example of this very scarce Victorian childrens book. B&W illustr…ations throughout, full page as well as vignettes. A wonderful collection of short stories and poems for children. Timothy Shay Arthur (18091885) was a popular 19th-century American writer, famous for his temperance novel Ten Nights in a Bar-Room and What I Saw There (1854). Written with compassion and sensitivity, Arthur's stories articulated the values and ideals associated with "respectable middle class" life in America. Several publishing firms have printed books by Timothy Shay Arthur 's pseudonym "Uncle Herbert," but Lippincott was his publisher during his lifetime. Found no copies listed in OCLC or LC or AAS.
