"The Howe Readers. A Primer" by Will D. Howe, Myron T. Pritchard, and Elizabeth V.Brown. Published by Charles Scribner's Sons, New York, 1909; illustrated.

Hard boards, original cloth with decorations on the front board and spine [some soiling, mostly back-board]; 5.1/4" x 7.1/4"; brown colored endpapers which stained the title page and the last page; 123 pages, a little wear and soiling, many Victorian illustrations, very good condition.

"The simple little stories of the Howe Primer offer the means by which the child learns to know by sight the words he already knows by sound. This Primer recognizes that a child's vocabulary must follow his natural interests in his pets, toys, games, sports, his playmates, family ties, and with his relations with the postman, fireman, farmer, soldier and other familiar representatives... Since the child is himself the hero of so many adventures, he expresses himself naturally in stories which appeal to his self-activity, and which give him opportunity for soliloquy, dialogue, and action..."[excerpt from the Preface]
