Sara Coleridge 1845 Pretty Lessons in Verse for Children LATIN Easy Rhyme POEMS

Description: GOOD to VERY GOOD CONDITION This sale is for an EARLY VICTORIAN hardback edition entitled “Pretty Lessons in Verse for Good Children with some Lessons in Latin in Easy Rhyme,” by Sara Coleridge (1802-1852) with woodcut illustrations. It was published by John W. Parker of West Strand, London, in MDCCCXLV (1845) and is the Fourth Edition illustrated with many Cuts. Sara Coleridge, daughter of the poet Samuel Taylor Coleridge, was a translator of Latin and medieval French. She originally produced this work for the instruction of her own children, but from it being first published in 1834 it became popular, although original early editions are now quite hard-to-find. Her instructive verses in this book included popular poems like The Months: "January brings the snow, makes our feet and fingers glow." This sweet little book measures 6 inches x 4 inches and has 128 pages plus an 8-page publisher’s catalogue. The book is in good, bright, neat and clean condition for its age, save wear/frayed/chips around the spine of the original embossed decorative cloth hardback cover. There are NO inscriptions/book-plates and NO other ink or pencil markings in the book. The binding is very good with no loose or missing pages. There is no dust-jacket. A wonderful early VICTORIAN edition.
