A fascinating book on ideas of the time on young education. Leather binding in poor condition and front separated. Pages in mostly good condition for age. The title page has some old \'writing practice\' as shown. Text block is complete from title page to end of text; there is an advert attached to back cover for a Bell & Murray publication; There are a few contemporary lines & marginalia; pages are a fair readable copy that could be rebound to some advantage.
