Philadelphia and New York: George S. and D. Appleton, 1849.

Oblong sm. 8vo, 60, (1, ads.)pp, illustrated throughout. Original printed wrappers rebacked with paper, some slight wear but a very good copy.

§ First edition of this version. Cotsen records an 1855 Sherman NY edition with the same pagination, and notes that a second part came out later. The 1855 is also the only edition that Worldcat records (in one copy). A very scarce, and perhaps the first, Mother Goose in hieroglyphics. Not in Osborne. Item #102818
