32 pages. Nineteenth-century miniature children's book, with tables for capital and lower case letters of the alphabet; a "Lesson In Three-Letter Words"; an "Instructional Alphabet," consisting of a list of rules for right living, each rule beginning with a successive letter of the alphabet; a series of lessons for proper hygiene and conduct at school; a touching 3-page "Child's Prayer"; a series of moral lessons, each beginning with the letter "B," entitled "A Swarm Of Bees Worth Hiving"; a beautiful prayer of grace before meals; a moving 10-page poem entitled "Which?" evocative of John Greenleaf Whittier; and a two-page "Prayer For Morning." Tiny vignette illustration on title page, plus another of a locomotive on page 4. Bound in stiff card wraps. Very Good Plus. No chips or tears. Inscribed and signed on the inside rear cover, "From Joseph Hill to W.P. Caley, 1878." W.P. Caley was a founding pioneer and prominent citizen of Sierra Madre, California who served as first Marshall and Deputy Sheriff there. His home is today a State Historic Landmark. A heartwarming and inspirational little book. CLICK ON ICON AT LEFT TO SEE AN ACTUAL PICTURE OF THIS BOOK. Buchnummer des Verkäufers
