Boston reading lessons for primary schools

Sarah Preston Everett Hale

I have in my possession a very tattered and torn, mouse chewed, and hand sewn binding with the same title. It was apparently in the possession of one of my Grand Aunts named Sarah/Sally Diana Adams. She lived from 1826 to 1845, dying at the very young age of 19. I found the book in a wall to the old farmhouse in Vermont when we had one wing of the house renovated. What's ironic is this.....the entire book of 142 pages, is readable with no missing pages, except for parts of the front inside and back inside pages. The title was submitted to the District Clerks Office of Massachusetts on the 22nd of March, 1828. The publisher was Richardson and Lord. The front and back covers are completely illegible due to the mice liking the taste of Ink....maybe? But, my Grand Aunt (may God rest her soul) was probably the one who hand sewed the binding to hold it all together.
