Number of pages: 155

Notes: Plates have an inconsistently applied parallel numbering system, numbered I-XXIV. The [10] p. referred to are the five engraved plates. The remainder are letterpress, sometimes on leaves, sometimes on pages, sometimes sharing a leaf with the text.

"A most rare and unusual system of primary instruction for children. A group of pages are printed with the text, within rules, of a series of small pages which are meant to be cut from the book and assembled according to the pattern and instructions given on two of the engravings. The result is not exactly a book but a kind of teaching toy constructed from the pages of the book, with rows of cards, for teaching reading and writing in both Italian and Latin.".--Dealer's description.

Ded. to John Smith Wright, "Scudiere"[?] of Nottinghamshire.
