Trade Paperback. Condizione: Very Good. Hartwell, Alonzo - Woodcuts (illustratore). 103 Pages.Crease to back cover that runs vertically from top to bottom Originally published in England in 1816 by John Harris. Copies came to America, and in the middle of the 1830s, it was issued by Munroe and Francis of Boston, in a redesigned, Americanized edition. The resulting book went through several printings without internal alteration. Among the legendary books of early American childhood is Marmaduke Multiply. Prepared as a fellow volume to Peter Piper, it teaches the multiplication table by means of catchy rhymes and engaging woodcuts. An early 19th century anticipation of Sesame Street, it remains one of the pleasantest and most engaging of early children's books. This reprint of Murmaduke Multiply reproduces the Munroe and Francis edition, the first American version of the rhymes. Designed and illustrated by Alonzo Hartwell it first appeared in the middle 1830's. Through succeeding editions, up until the 1870's, it was a favorite means of affording combined instruction and entertainmemt to young America. Today Marmaduke Multiply can still be used for its original amusememt and instruction purposes, but, with its quaint woodcuts and loaded rhymes, it has the added value of showing the mind of America in the days of the not so old-fashioned schoolhouse. This reprint of the 1841 edition is illustrated with 71 woodcuts.

A reprint of the 1909 edition published by Holt, New York. "Professor Frederick Clarke Prescott, without the precedent of any previous single-volume edition of Poe's criticism, winnowed out the best of Poe's critical thought for [this work].[designed] as a teaching edition for college or secondary school use, he presented selections chronologically, largely for the purpose of acquainting the student with the development of Poe's generic concepts. As yet, no one volume of Poe's criticism offers so much in a workable form." (new preface by Dameron).
