"Sanders' SPELLING BOOK was the third speller to be published in 1838. It soon provided both Webster and McGuffey considerable competition - Nietz p. 30-31." Prof. Sanders lived at Cortland. Speed & Sinclair began as a paper mill, and the partnership ended with Sinclair's death in 1841. The stereotyping was done by Francis F. Ripley, of Brooklyn. There is an excellent woodcut with a Moses-like character instructing children in their ABCs.

About Thomas J. Joyce And Company
Joyce And Company has been in business as a professional rare bookseller and appraiser since 1975. Owner Thomas Joyce was the regular book appraiser on Home & Garden TV\'s \"The Appraisal Fair\\\" program, on international broadcasts. Thomas Joyce was the co-discoverer of George Washington's personal copy of William Leybourn's 1679 edition of THE COMPLEAT SURVEYOR, from which young Washington learned some of his surveying skills at age 16. The book had vanished for nearly a century until its re-discovery in 2017. It is now back at Mt. Vernon.
