Softcover, 7 x 8.75 inches, 24pp. Near Fine with a half-inch closed tear to the top rear wrap, very minor soil/discoloration, an uncommonly nice copy of these oft-abused copybooks. The fine work of Sylvester Melbert, with all but the final page neatly executed (the last page has the ooo's of slant practice instead). Specimens include: Every leaf is of a different form. Kindness softens the human heart (is that a warning?) He is wise that rules his tongue. Friends in need are friends indeed. Shame being lost, all virtue is lost.
