The laftleafofthis ofthis original is literally ofboards, not in the modern senfe of pafteboard but strips , ofwoodone-eighthofan’nch thick covered §v5h thin paper. To reproduce this bind- $3T| exactly was too difficult a matter for pi.) bookbinder, so we have contentedour- selves with the paper binding in which so many ofthe early editions ofThe drimer Sheared. ^The New England Primer was one of the greateft books ever publiihed. It went through innumerable editions; it reflected in a marvellous way the spirit of the age that produced it, and contributed, perhaps more thananyother book excepttheBible, to the moulding ofthofe fturdy generations that gave to America its liberty and its in- ititutions. Evenlate reprintsofThePrimer are fcarce and expenfive, only to be found We in the book collectors’ treafure houfe. have therefore made thisreproduction from a rare and typical original, inthebeliefthat it will be valued by the teachers andpupils ofto-day.
