¶'The following little essays... were drawn up, as they occurred to the father of a pretty numerous family... [It] was printed at a country press several years ago (1793), when those for whose more immediate use it was designed, were then very young: the copies being disposed of, has induced another edition, with some additions.' The first edition is recorded as an anonymous Wrexham printing, ESTC T68681 and BL has an 1806 edition published by J. Washbourn, Gloucester, apparently otherwise an identical printing.
