    Designed to be a 'private tutor for little masters and misses', this delightful work contains sections dedicated to the history of England, the solar system, the wonders of the world, the 'behaviours of great men' and 'directions for reading with elegance and propriety'.

    Contemporary inscriptions to front and rear blanks from the children of the Longman family, with the inscription 'Ann Longman her book gift by Ann Read January 6th 1799' to verso of title page.

    First published in 1751, this popular work saw numerous editions throughout the second half of the eighteenth century.
