Abstract
The first sentence of the introduction sets a good goal: This primer is an attempt to place before children, at the very beginning, something worth reading, in a form simple enough for them to read (iii). There are thirty texts here in all, spread over 82 pages. Of these some nineteen are fables. They include CP, FG, FC, DM, The Cat and the Birds, DS, The Dove and the Bee, LM, The Fox and the Lion, BC, The Boys and the Frogs, The Fox in the Well, The Fox and the Cat, The Wolf and the Goat, BW, The Man and the Little Fish, The Fox and the Crab, The Donkey and the Frogs, and The Blind Man and the Lame Man. The tellings seem standard. Frequently the book does a warm-up for a fable by introducing words and sentences from the fable's particular area of life. Each fable has one illustration. The good copy is in very good condition. In the extra copy, a number of pages are torn and stained, and many of the back pages of word lists (83-98) are torn or removed.
