Descripción

A small provincial imprint chapbook published in WAKEFIELD, Yorkshire. A most attractive little publication 4" x 2. 5" (approx 10cm x 6.5 cm) in sewn blue wraps, with a woodcut of children praying around a table below the title, in a charming decorative border. Very clean. Internally the woodcut and title is repeated on the first page - a good deep impression - NO date shown but likely 1815/30? . The rest of the book is unillustrated but contains what is probably a version of Watt's 'The First Set of Catechisms and Prayers; or the Religion of Little Children under Seven Years of Age'. 30pp. Excellent condition, clean tight and bright. NO inscriptions or marks. "Isaac Watts is most well-known as a Nonconformist hymn-writer. Many of his compositions are still in common use today & his Divine Songs, first published in 1715, is considered the first hymn-book for children. Watts s non-hymnal writings include catechisms composed for children of various ages. The first set for children under seven years of age, & the second set for children from seven to twelve years of age. This early nineteenth century edition begins with 'The First Catechism of the Principles of Religion' - ending with 'The Young Child's Grace after Meat'. Scarce. See Images. ; 4" x 2.5".
