Beschreibung

Full title: The Child's Monitor, or Parental Instruction, in Four Parts; containing a great variety of progressive lessons (interspersed with moral and religious reflections) adapted to the comprehension of children, and calculated to instruct them in reading, and the use of stops, and, at the same time, to give them some knowledge of natural history, the Scriptures, and of several other sublime and important subjects. The first American edition, corrected and improved. Small 8vo. Contemporary binding of full leather, plain except for five gilt rules on spine, no marks of previous ownership. Very good copy, endpapers tanned, somewhat foxed, but not badly. Much on natural history, and with all sorts of short commentaries on practically every subject under the sun (even one on the benefits of moonlight). Printed by Jane Aitken (so noted in type on the last page). Aitken was, besides being a printer, a bookbinder and bookseller. A web page devoted to her "Jane Aitken - Printer, Publisher and Bookbinder" is featured in the Duke University Libraries exhibit Five Hundred Years of Women's Work - The Lisa Unger Baskin Collection.
