About This Item
Philadelphia: American Sunday School Union, [n.d., ca. 1828] Early edition. The earliest copy noted by OCLC apparently has 1828 on the title-page, and this copy can't have been published much later. OCLC also only lists copies that claim to be revised, as ours does. A scarce book regardless, as OCLC lists only thirteen physical copies of any edition. We could find no indication of who the author is. Quarter red roan over marbled boards, gilt-lettered spine. Twelvemo. Engraved frontispiece. Binding extremities a bit worn and rubbed. Lacking blank preliminary and terminal leaves. Very light foxing, the occasional minor stain. A very good copy of a rare, fragile book. The present work consists of four dialogues, each between two characters, that wish to instill morality in young readers by addressing the following topics: keeping good company, reading, the Bible, on collecting donations for church, rising early, regular and punctual attendance at Sunday school, animal cruelty (dog fights, cock fighting, etc.), violence for sport (fist-fighting), and more.
