Beschreibung

An early nineteenth-century edition of Isaac Watt's collection of didactic moral poetry intended for the instruction of children. Bound in quarter calf with pictorial paper covered boards. A collection of didactic, moral poetry for children, originally published in 1715, with more than one thousand editions. Written by Isaac Watts, an English Congregational minister, hymn writer, theologian, and logician. Although Watts's hymns are now better known than this collection of poetry, 'Divine Songs' remained a standard textbook in schools and a popular children's book for nearly 200 years. Notably, the work includes song XX, "Against Idleness and Mischief", the song famously parodied by Lewis Carroll as "How Doth the Little Crocodile", in 'Alice's Adventures in Wonderland'.Leaf A1 has been adhered to the front paste down. With the ink inscription of Elizabeth Drake, 1805, to the front endpaper. Bound in quarter calf with pictorial paper covered boards. Externally, sound, with rubbing to boards and extremities, causing some loss to the backstrip head and tail. A1 adhered partially to front past down. Internally, firmly bound. Pages are generally bright and clean, with a little age toning and the odd mark. Good.
