About This Item
Boston, Massachusetts: Wright & Potter Printing Company, 1883. Good. Water staining, light toning and dust soiling, minor short tears to foot. Sewing beginning to loosen.. An important early publication in the history of education, including the oft-reproduced portrait of Friedrich Froebel (1782-1852), here engraved by Littell of New York. Aiming to align the general public with Froebel's cause, the preface ends with an entreaty: "Fellow-citizens, will you not aid us to assist the blind to help themselves?" (p. 4).
8vo (9.25" by 5.75"), pp. 14, unbound (possibly as issued?), contemporary crude sewing to left-hand margin, misbound so that the title-page is on the verso of the first leaf and not the recto.
