Upper wrapper lightly soiled with light dime-sized stain and worm hole both transferring to first few pages. Interior and lower wrapper free of markings.

First published in 1806, there were several editions each varying in the wrapper illustrations and occasionally in the illustrations for the pictorial alphabet. Rosenbach attributes all of the cuts to Alexander Anderson (here, A for Ape, B for Bear, C for Cat.); Pomeroy is more cautious but includes the title page engraving among others. Rosenbach 596. Pomeroy 203(e). Gumuchian 221, and illustrated on plate 50 (another edition); cf. Haviland-Coughlan pp. 26-30 (1st ed. of 1806, completely reproduced). Bestandsnummer des Verk�ufers 6517
