With a woodcut vignette on the title page. Rare second edition of an unusual grammar book for the Hindustani language which was spoken in what is now known as Pakistan Bangladesh and parts of Nepal Bhutan and Iran. It was specifically intended for Portuguese missionaries who were working in the declining Mughal Empire 1526-1858. This small book which has clearly been used offers an interesting insight into the work of these missionaries. While it focusses mostly on the basics of the language like numbers colours and common verbs there is also a section for religious words like the virtues the names of Christian figures and important biblical terms.The spine is damaged with the front board nearly detached two of three sewing supports are stil intact.

A number of her books from this period mention or advertise boxes of letters and other equipment which were designed to help children learn through play. These experiments culminated in a series of brilliantly conceived "miniature libraries" initiated by her publisher John Marshall. They were sets of tiny books planned around themes and housed in wooden boxes whose lids were made to resemble the front of a bookcase. The first of these was actually the largest gThe Juvenile or Child's Libraryg 1799-1800 but it was quickly followed by the smaller gInfant's Libraryg 1800-1 - sixteen little books in a box - which proved to be the most popular of a whole succession of imitations . Once John Marshall had shown the way other publishers were quick to market alternatives to his Juvenile and Infant's libraries. As might be expected John Wallis with his involvement in maps games puzzles and so on was one of the foremost competitors.'

Original buff paper wrappers with printed title. . Octavo. Wrappers worn away at spine though binding holds firm. Dust soiling to wrappers. Contemporary color pencil signature at top margin of front cover. Small open tear to corner of first leaf at gutter. A very good copy of a scarce item concerning impartial education in schools. Anna Scull 1832 - the principal of the Hunter Girls' Grammar School in Philadelphia was accused by several parents of criticizing Catholicism and promoting the Lutheran Reformation during lessons she taught. The present work contains testimonies by parents and students alleging that Scull had "attacked vilified and abused the faith religion and belief" of Catholic students p. 52. She was also accused of vocally favoring Lutheranism in class by discussing Luther's opposition to the sale of indulgences by Pope Leo X p. 59. The Board of the Department of Education ultimately dismissed the case against Scull stating that they could not "recommend such deference to the religious zeal of any denomination or denominations as would prevent the impartial teaching in our public schools of the prominent facts of history" p. 159.</p>
