[The new English tutor, enlarged
Subtitle: for the more easy attaining the true reading of English]
Publisher: S. Green
Published: 1690
Place of publication: Boston
Language: eng
Other titles: New England primer.
Notes: This is a fragment of an unidentified piece, though it contains section headings found in Harris' New English tutor (Christian Observations, numeral letters, and The first chapter of John) and the New England primer ( ... of Genesis).

Containing a fleur-de-lis ornament identified by E. Reilly, in her Dictionary of colonial American printers' ornaments (no. 688), as having been used by the printer Samuel Green of Boston from 1660 to 1692. However, as many English imprints of the time contain very similar ornaments, this is not conclusive proof that the fragment is an American imprint. Adding further conjecture to the imprint is the close resemblance of the format and type employed to Harris' Protestant tutor printed in London in 1679 ([i.e. 1681?])

Removed from the binding of Increase Mather's Practical truths (Boston: Samuel Green, 1682).

Gift; E.L. Gay; June 1927; Cℓ 10404.

Ms. autographs, largely illegible (Charles Dwyer?).
