Boston: Educational Publishing Co. 1911. Hardcover first edition - Uncommon early primer described as the one on the market with the smallest vocabulary, but written to be interesting to children. The preface states that 'The matter in this Primer is based on home environment in order to present to beginners but one difficulty, i.e., that of learning to recognize the printed forms of words which are familiar to the ear. Thus the difficulty of learning the meaning of unfamiliar words is not added to the great difficulty of learning visible forms of words. Illustrated with engravings and line drawings. Vocabulary list. 122 pages.

Condition: Good overall in illustrated boards but missing pp 85-88, the front endpaper has been pasted down, and the line drawings on 2 pages have been fairly neatly hand-colored by a child.
