A reprint of an old book probably first printed in the 1850s and used in schools as an early reader for school students. With large and small case "ABCs" inside the front cover and colorful drawings inside, readers begin reading only a few words on the first pages and progress to the end of the book with many words on a page. This is an excellent example of books used by our ancestors over a century ago. (20pp. color illus. Masthof Press, 1993 reprint.)
