Rare early 19th century juvenile chapbook.

The New England Primer Improved, or, an easy and pleasant guide to the Art of Reading to which is added the Shorter Catechism.

1821, NY by C. Brown, stereotyped by H. Wallis. Original marbled paper front cover (lacks rear cover), otherwise complete. 70 pp. woodcuts including Burning of Mr. John Rogers. Woodcuts 

Scarce in any condition. Well worn, spine stitched long ago with thread, toning, some leaves with old ink markings in blank margins, rear leaf with some loss to top corner, various small old stains as typical, corners dog eared and curled, etc.

For any small paper juvenile of this era to survive is a small miracle, it is one if the few areas of collecting where defective should often be considered as entirely acceptable.

Book measures 4 1/4" x 3 1/2"W.
