"The editor of this little work, cannot let it appear in this new world, without acknowledging the benefit she received from it. At the time it was first published she was just teaching two of her children to read ... Some alterations and additions were thought necessary to be made in this American edition ... but they are so few ... that the merit of the performance remains with Mrs. Barbauld, the ingenious author."--p. [3]. Followed by an advertisement by the author, p. [4].
"A great variety of books for all good little girls and boys, may be had at James Wilson's Book-Store, at the sign of Shakespear, in Market-Street, Wilmington, Del."--bookseller's advertisement, p. 43.
