Description:
This Fourth Edition, dated 1837, which genuinely can be considered as a "First thus", includes a preface to the Third Edition in which the author states that she has added: "some verses illustrative of each subject".In addition to the 1833 First Edition is added "The Author's Apology". It is, in effect, a considerably extended "Peep" and includes within the standard pagination: "Hints for Teachers", "Questions on the lessons","Verses to be committed to memory" and finally a "List of Books for Young Children".As the author herself notes that she has endeavoured to prove every statement "either by the notes or by the references prefixed to each chapter, both of which are intended solely for the use of the teacher" (see page xxiv).Wiki notes as follows: According to Todd Pruzan, "For the better part of the 19th century, Mrs. Mortimer was something of a literary superstar to an impressionable audience, both in her native England and beyond."[2] The Peep of Day series was immensely popular: over 500,000… Read More
