The Nurse's Rhyme Book, a new collection of Nursery Rhymes, Games, Stories and Jingles.

Philadelphia: George B. Zieber and Co., 1847; red cloth blindstamped boards with gilt titles, yellow endpapers, 6x9"; 112 pp. Picture Book hardback.

143 Rhymes. Taken together with the volume published in the previous year by Zeiger they comprise "all that is valuable in this particular department of juvenile literature." Most are one or two to a page with varied decorative borders and lovely small engravings. Some longer ballads and many unfamiliar rhymes and variants here. The later Smith editions are in World Cat, but this, presumably first, Zieber edition is not.

CONDITION: Good Minus; 3/4" repaired damage to spine head, front endpaper missing (no names), soil and pale ink spots to boards, 3" closed split on rear spine cloth, light foxing throughout; tight in binding and otherwise very clean. Stiff mylar jacket. Item #17567
