London: William Darton, 58 Holborn Hill 1820. 72pp. Twelvemo. Bound in original red morocco-backed marbled boards. Rather rubbed and worn, some inscriptions and juvenile drawings, spine with glue marks, lacking two of the eighteen plates; the plate at p.4 is misbound as the frontispiece. Apparently a scarce childrens' book covering English villages and farm-life; a Copac search reveals five copies in British collections and WorldCat shows seven copies
